Post categories:

Jennifer Tracey | 20:10 UK time, Friday, 29 August 2008

Earlier this week, we began looking at whether older drivers should be required to take regular, independent medical tests after the age of 70. Full details on the blog.

Thanks to everyone who commented and emailed us their interesting and, often moving stories. This is the full report broadcast on the programme.

We spoke to
* Dr Melanie Simms who sparked off the story with her email
* Elizabeth Dainton who shared research she's done for the RAC foundation
* Walter Levy, the 83-year-old cabbie who takes Eddie for a spin
* Dr David Carvel, a GP in the Scottish town of Biggar, South Lanarkshire
* Stephen Ladyman, who was a Minister in the Department of Transport until June 2007
