Picture: News Limited/David Hele Source: News Limited WITH 150 years of driving experience between them, best mates Bob Luxton and Terry Latchford are two of Queensland's oldest driver's licence-holders. Retired to Victoria Point at Salford Waters Retirement Village, the best friends are both 94-years-old, although Terry is quick to point out he is the younger of the two. Both friends still drive most days and neither have plans to stop any time soon. The more active motorist of the two, Bob, said driving keeps him young and allows him to stay in touch with his three children, 11 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. "My family is scattered around the place, I travel 110km to Aratula to visit my daughter, I go to my son who lives 120km away at Murwillumbah and my other son lives at Ormeau," he said. Mr Luxton, who turns 95-years-old next month, got his licence at 17-years-old and bar the seven years he was serving the country in the Navy, he has driven every day. As well as driving his family around Australia on their yearly holidays, the retiree spent many of his years working behind the wheel. I drove a taxi for about for four or five years when I was in my 60s," he said. When I was younger I worked for Channel Seven driving celebrities up and down the mountain, that was when I got one of only three citations I've had since driving. With his yearly check-up at his GP's next month, Mr Luxton said he is still feels very confident in the driver's seat of his 1993 Toyota Corolla. I am not planning on giving up my license. They might as well cut of my arms and legs when I can't drive," he said. Terry Latchford's limits his driving to around the Redlands Shire and said the main reason he keeps driving is so he can visit his wife who suffers dementia. "I drive to see my wife, Pamela, every week after church, she has lived in a nursing home since 2005," he said. Apart from that I use the car for convenience to go to appointments like dental and the doctor. Having turned 94-years-old in April, Mr Latchford has recently been given the green light to drive for another year. "Being over 75 you have to have medical certificate to drive but I don't have to worry about that until June 2014," he said. I still feel confident, I just drive little distances so the car knows its own way. I don't drive in the dark anymore. With only three accidents between them in their long driving records, the pair said they think they have a pretty good record - and some words of wisdom to young drivers. "Keep the speed down and keep your mind on the road," Mr Latchford said.
