RETEST FOR MOTORISTS

# Having read the article about a man of 86 driving the wrong way on the M1, killing himself and a passenger in a Transit van (Mirror, October 13), I wonder when something will be done about people driving at this age.

It’s not the first time this has happened.

Surely, when you reach 70 you should have a retest every three years. That way there is no responsibility put on doctors to determine the fitness of a driver. Pete Dodson Ventnor, Isle of Wight # Why is it when countries sing their national anthem it’s usually about their country, and yet ours is about one person – the monarch? Isn’t it about time we had a national anthem for our country? Please tell me I’m not the only person that thinks this should happen. Melanie Ingleton, Coulsdon, South London
