Britain's oldest lorry driver who still works 12 hour days at the age of 90 is set to carry on trucking for another year after passing a health MOT. Sprightly Brian Wilson started his career as a lorry driver in 1953, when he began delivering petrol for Esso.
And 70 years later, the father-of-four still wakes up at 4am for his 12-hour shifts delivering to various places in the UK such as Rochdale, Birmingham and Newcastle. Just like his lorry, Brian requires a full health check-up from his doctor each year to allow him to keep driving. And after he passed his annual inspection, Brian said he was glad he doesn't have to put the brakes on his career just yet.
He said: "Well if I feel fit enough, then I'm going to carry on even though I'm at a big age. I have to go every year and I'm glad I passed it."
