eyesight tests to assess their ability to drive safely. However, the Driving Instructors’ Association believes that these types of tests should be made available, or even compulso ry, for all drivers. DIA general manager Mr Eddie Bamaville
®
said: "We support the idea of tests for the over 75s, but why restrict them to just this age group? With 41 million licence holders on our roads today it is vital to ensure people are roadworthy and safe. There are 3,500 road deaths every year in Britain - surely if-we assessed the ability of motorists at least every 10 years, this figure could be reduced." : If the Driver and: Vehicle Licensing Agency
proposals are given the go-ahead,'motorists aged 75 and over would have to visit an assessment centre and complete a half-hour paper-based test designed to examine their fitness to drive. They would then have to pass a sight test before obtaining a five-year driv- inglicence. Under the current system, all drivers must
renew their licences at the age of 70 and then every three years; there is no independent verification of ability, unless the DVLA is contacted by relatives or doctors to say the person is no longer fit to drive. • Research by the Institute of Advanced
Motorists has indicated that elderly drivers are more, likely to be involved in collisions causing death or injury, as they have slower reaction times; take longer to spot hazards; and are more likely to become confused by traffic rules and road layouts. The DVLA has stressed that no final decisions have been made about implementing the proposal.

- With acres of tarmac and vast expanses of run off should you get things very wrong, it is difficult to build a perception of speed. Howev er, even at a windswept Silverstone, there was no doubt that the Lotus Exige S was a fearsomely quick car. Designed to sit above the stan
I
dard Exige and below the special order Cup 240, the supercharged S model is a fully homologated model that packs a 221 b.h.p. punch and
, yet tips the scales at just 935kg. : The car I am driving has been fit
ted with the optional Super Sports pack, which includes traction con trol, the adjustable dampers, Eibach springs and a whole host of other goodies, so it is not totally indicative ■ of the experience you will have if you turn up at your Lotus dealer with the base £33,995 asking price. Nevertheless, the amount of go
you get from that Toyota-sourced engine is exactly the same. The statistics for the Exige S are
impressive. It gets to 60 m.p.h. in 4.1 seconds and to 100 m.p.h. in a frac tion less than 10 seconds. It is quick-
er to 60 m.p.hi than a Porsche 911 Turbo and within a 10th of a second of Ferrari’s £118,500 F430, neither of these cars having a hope of repli cating the Exige’s 31 m.p.g. com bined fuel-consumption figure. Identifiable by its body-coloured
intakes and S badging, this Exige offers two optional Touring packs that take the edge off its rawest qualities, and there are also two Sport packs that enhance this car’s
headbanger appeal. The Touring pack includes electric windows, leather and suede upholstery, car pets and additional noise insulation. The Super Touring pack adds twin front airbags, more interior storage and an entirely superfluous engine start button. The Sport pack features twin oil
coolers and Lotus’s switchable trac tion control system. A Torsen-type limited slip differential is available
as an option designed for what Lotus
, calls “tight, low speed, high acceler-, ation driving (such as auto tests).” Also included are sports seats and
a T45 steel rollover hoop and har ness bar for the aftermarket fitment of four-point harnesses. Opt for the Super Sports pack and you get ultra lightweight forged split seven-spoke alloy rims, track suspension with Eibach springs and Bilstein one-way adjustable dampers.
