Don Mitchell had to give up his licence several years ago but had yearned to get in the driving seat again.
A 98-year-old care home resident from East Yorkshire had his dream of getting behind the wheel once again fulfilled.
Mitchell has now been given the opportunity to get behind the wheel once again and has become a driving school’s oldest-ever pupil. That’s been tested with Mitchell, who even exceeded the 92-year-old who has received driving tuition from the company before.Funded by the care home’s ‘Together We Can’ initiative that aims to fulfil the dreams of residents, Mitchell got behind the wheel at the scheme’s venue of the Defence School of Transport at Leconfield near Beverley, East Yorkshire.
Speaking after his drive, Mitchell said: “I was delighted to be able to get behind the wheel again, I was heartbroken to give up my licence. I think I still drove quite safely at 94 but there comes a time when it has to be given up.
