I should be quite happy to submit to a cognitive test following my 80th birthday to judge whether I am still capable of driving safely (Scottish judge calls for compulsory tests for over-80 drivers after fatal crash, 22 October), but I would like a successful pass to be followed by a fall in my car insurance premium.
