Motorists over 70 are considered to be amongst the safest on the road. Many avoid rush-hour and late-night driving and are said to cause fewer accident-related injuries than younger drivers.
70 岁以上的驾车者被认为是道路上最安全的人。 许多人避免高峰时间和深夜驾驶，据说与年轻司机相比，事故相关伤害更少。
But more of them than ever are being stopped from driving for medical reasons. In 2011 just over 10,000 over-70s were banned because of their health. By last year, that figure had risen by a third to nearly 13,000 drivers.
但他们中有比以往任何时候都更多的人因医疗原因被禁止开车。 2011 年，超过 10,000 名 70 岁以上的人因为健康问题被禁止参加。 到去年，这个数字增加了三分之一，达到近 13,000 名司机。
The DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) says it is not clear why there has been such a surge in the number of older drivers losing their licence on health grounds.
DVLA（驾驶员和车辆许可机构）表示，尚不清楚为什么因健康原因失去驾照的年长驾驶员数量激增。
