No tickets in 84 years of driving

SOUTH WITHAM, England (UPI) -- A 99-year-old Briton who has maintained an immaculate driving record for 84 years says he has no intention of getting out from behind the wheel.

George Geeson of South Witham, England, who received his driver's license in 1925 at age 15, said he has driven more than 800,000 miles in cars and motorcycles since then and has yet to receive a single speeding ticket or be cited as the cause of a collision, The Sun reported.

Geeson said he has only been involved in one crash, when he was rear-ended by another motorist 51 years ago.

"I've always been careful and told myself that if I stayed on the right side of the law I'd no reason to be afraid," Geeson said. "I've probably driven more than (800,000) or 900,000 miles. But now I just enjoy pottering to the shops."

"I should have no problem renewing my license when it expires next year because I still have perfect vision and I'm fit as a fiddle."

I, as a retired truck driver, have a plaque, that was awarded to me by my former boss, that states that I have (at that time) driven { 3.5 MILLION MILES } without a traffic violation, or an accident. and that was for a period of only 22 1/2 years. Four years have passed since then, and still no violations! BUT, I am not bragging:}. Just wanted to let you know that this is no big deal.

So in what way is that Weird?
Unusual, even for driving in the UK, but certainly not weird.
Maybe it would be for a driver in the USA?
