Sir, - The only group who approach car insurance companies with medical certificates of fitness are the over-70s. The group who make the least claims are the over-70s. They also drive the fewest miles per annum and are the most sober and careful drivers. Why does the Government allow insurers to milk the older drivers when renewing their policies? I have asked various Government Departments, but none are interested. - Yours, etc.,
Dermot C. Clarke, Wilson Road, Mount Merrion, Co Dublin.
