Older drivers failing to declare medical conditions

Half of older drivers who have a medical condition admit they haven't disclosed it to the DVLA because most believe it's because they don't think their illness affects their driving.

Some have been diagnosed with visual impairments, brain conditions and epilepsy. One million people over the age of 65 are risking a fine for failing to report their illness.

Ben Brooks-Dutton's wife, Desreen, was killed in a crash caused by an 85-year-old driver who mistook the accelerator for the brake.

He started a petition calling for the over 70s to be re-tested every three years. He joins us on the sofa to share his story.

POLL: Should over 70s re-take their driving test?
