LONDON -- One of Britain's oldest drivers is raring to get back behind the wheel of her brand new car despite having her first crash - at age 100. Scottish charity worker, Lady Morton, enjoyed 74 years of trouble free driving before hitting a traffic island when she went for a spin in her 100th birthday present - a new car complete with personalized numberplates. "It had no lighting, which I think is ridiculous. But I am all right, thank you very much," she told ***The Times*** newspaper on Tuesday. "I was not going very fast and it is all a bit unfortunate."
