Original Toronto Star caption: Veteran driver: Charles Porter celebrated his 90th birthday by getting his driver's license renewed. The Scarborough man is proud of his driving record but upset at the lack of courtesy and skill shown by many younger drivers. In more than 60 years behind the wheel, he's had only one minor accident.
