105-year-old New Zealand man still loves to drive the open road

New Zealand's oldest driver, 105-year-old Bob Edwards, may limp down the stairs outside his home with a cane, but he shows no sign of unsteadiness as he sits behind the wheel of his red Mitsubishi in a recent video by the Associated Press.

Edwards told the news wire he's been driving for 88 years and he figures he's more or less still a spring chicken.

"I don't think I'm old," he said to AP, "Not really."

He's not the oldest man to have ever been on the road. That record belongs to one of two American drivers, one of whom has an uncertain birthday. Fred Hale Sr. drove until he turned 108, according to Guinness World Records. Layne Hall from New York may have been even older.

When Edwards earned his first license in 1925, cars were still exciting new toys. He started a business transporting goods, according to AP, and though his business ended, his driving never did.

Edwards told the BBC there were mostly horses and carts in New Zealand when he first arrived from England.

Now he drives short distances to buy food for himself and 91-year-old wife. When a reporter asked him how it felt to be New Zealand's oldest driver, Edwards smiled.

"I don't know," he said. "I can't feel that way."
