Risky business

He was involved in a hit-and run-accident in August (licence revoked), hit an umbrella carried by a small child on Friday, and was involved in similar incident in November. But despite these incidents, 100-year-old Japanese man Masaru Hori wants to keep driving because it "helps me from going senile because it keeps me alert". Fortunately, the 7-year-old child in the latest incident escaped injury. Police are now urging the man's family to get rid of the car. For his part, Hori has promised that he won't be doing any more illegal driving. (The report on Reuters - Oddly Enough did not say if Hori's licence would be reinstated - ie if it was revoked for a certain period of time like it can be in some countries - following the hit-run accident.)
