Old and on the Road

No matter how old we are it seems we're more in love with the car than ever. But with an ageing population more and more of us are driving into old age. So are our roads getting more dangerous?

Presenter Jamie Owen finds out what he'd look like as a pensioner. Make up can make somebody look older but what's it like to feel older? Car manufacturers Ford think they have the answer, they've created the 'Third Age Suit'. The suit, flown in especially from Germany for Week in Week out, is used by designers to help them make better cars for elderly people. Jamie found his vision reduced by goggles, his hearing deafened and his movement restricted.
