This 99-year old deserves an award
Meet George Geeson of Lincolnshire, London. He got his driving license driving a Ford Model-T when he was 15 years old – today he is 99 years old. He has over a million miles of driving experience behind him and, he has never broken any law and has never been fined or charged with any act of negligence or issued a ticket for over speeding while driving. The only blot in his unblemished career is when a driver rammed his car from behind! He was certainly lucky to have lived in an era of relaxed driving and less busy roads, he also believed in driving well within the speed restrictions and the adage that haste makes waste. Why press the accelerator and hasten the inevitable crash leading to broken bones and, at times, death?
