But legendary British racing driver Stirling Moss, whose victories include the Italian Mille Miglia of 1955, admits age is taking its toll. Recognising the dangers, the 69-year- old is backing groundbreaking research into improving driving in old age. ——————————————————————————————————1/8—— By Jonathan Donald WIN A PORTABLE TV p415

"When I go into corners, I know I'm not as quick any more," confesses the sportsman, 69, who repeatedly scooped the national grand prix champion title. "My reactions are not as quick and I'm not as good at jumping in and out of the car - so no more Le Mans starts." ——————————————————————————————————2/8—— We talk to Lindsay Duncan 414 NOW IT'S EVEN EASIER TO FIND LOVE: TELETEXT DATING ITV p390 Celeb Pets Dr Roy Total Ents

The year-long study will look into overhauling aspects such as getting in and out of cars, seating and controls. ——————————————————————————————————3/8—— Countdown to the Millennium 105 TOTAL ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE p400

At the moment, all the the over-70s have to do is re-apply for a licence every three years and it's up to them to declare any medical reasons why they may not be fit to get behind the wheel. "They should have re-testing," says Stirling, who never sat a driving test. ——————————————————————————————————5/8—— TV winner: Janet Critchlow from Staffs DAILY TRAVEL NEWS PETS p521 (ITV) Celeb Pets Dr Roy Total Ents

"There's good drivers and bad drivers. In the same way I don't think women are worse drivers than men." ——————————————————————————————————6/8—— Wj talk to Lindsay Duncan 414 ALL THE TV GOSSIP p110 (ITV)

Pastimes pursued by Stirling, who turns 70 in September, include skiing, water skiing and diving. ——————————————————————————————————7/8—— Win a new book >>> PERSONAL FINANCE STARTS ON p540
