Older Drivers
As the government considers raising the age at which people have to reapply for their licences, how do you tell a parent it's time they gave up driving? With Winifred Robinson.
A government review has suggested that the age at which people have to reapply for their driving licence could be raised from 70 to 80 or scrapped altogether. So what do the accident statistics really say about older drivers and how do you tell a parent it's time they gave up? We hear from a man who's been through that process and speak to researchers who say too many older drivers are giving up too soon.
Also: how should patients be treated when their disabilities prevent them from getting into the dentist's chair?
And as the flood waters recede in Somerset, what might people there learn from the experience of Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire which flooded two years ago?
