A chara, - Because I am over 69 years of age, one particular motor insurance company will not accept me as a customer. Concurrently I've just renewed and received a new three-year driving licence which required a medical report: the State does not regard me as a risk but an insurance company does, which is little consolation after 53 years of blameless driving at home, on the Continent and in America. - Is mise, Jarlath Hayes,
