老年人一向被認(rèn)為是最安全的司機(jī)群體。他們一般不會(huì)在交通高峰時(shí)段上路，發(fā)生事故的機(jī)率也比年輕司機(jī)小很多。可是越來越多的老年司機(jī)在英國(guó)被撤銷駕照了，原因是什么呢？請(qǐng)聽 Judith Moritz 的報(bào)道：

Motorists over 70 are considered to be amongst the safest on the road. Many avoid rush-hour and late-night driving and are said to cause fewer accident-related injuries than younger drivers.

But more of them than ever are being stopped from driving for medical reasons. In 2011 just over 10,000 over-70s were banned because of their health. By last year, that figure had risen by a third to nearly 13,000 drivers.

The DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) says it is not clear why there has been such a surge in the number of older drivers losing their licence on health grounds.
