 Ananova: 
Discount for 100-year-old driver

A 100-year-old motorist has been given an insurance discount because he hadn't had an accident in more than 80 years of driving.

Belgian Cyriel Delacauw still drives his car every day to the shops, the billiard hall or a local river to go fishing.

He said: "I've driven around here for eight decades and I've watched all the traffic lights and signs gradually grow around me, I know exactly where everything is.

"Today's beginner drivers act like they were born in a jungle. I may only ever go 25 miles an hour but at least I'm safe."

Delacauw says he plans to keep driving "until I'm 110".

His insurance company did not reveal what the new low rate premium was but added: "With 80 years of no claims bonus the annual fee is not a lot."
