A FORMER ice cream seller and milkman aged 103 is believed to be Britain’s oldest driver.

    Giovanni Rozzo has been driving for more than eight decades and said he has no intention of hanging up his car keys.

    The grandfather of four, from Cambridge, has only ever had two speeding fines, one parking ticket — and has never had an accident during his motoring career.

    After losing his wife Anna Maria last year, Rozzo drives daily to visit her grave and regularly visits the shops in his trusty blue 23-year-old Mitsubishi Lancer.

    He said, “I’ve been driving since I was 20. I was a clerk in the Italian army at the time, so I started driving military vehicles in Italy before I came to England, and then drove my van for many, many years.

    “I am still fit, and my eyesight is good, and I feel confident as a driver, so I hope I will carry on driving. I have been driving for such a long time around the area that I don’t find the traffic a problem.

    “I’ve never had a crash. I had one parking fine in my ice cream van because another ice cream seller told the police. I have never caused an accident when driving, although other people have hit my car. I have a dent in my boot caused by a van recently.

    “I was fined twice for speeding, but that was many, many years ago and I was driving all day every day for many miles. My license is clean now.”

    Rozzo drove for more than 20 years in Italy on an Army license before taking a formal U.K. driving test in 1953 after moving to the country.

    His granddaughter Shelly Adams, 37, said, “He is a bit of a passionate driver. He goes quite fast. I don’t know anyone else that age or generation who still drives.”
