Woman, 101, renews driver's license

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., May 29 (UPI) -- A 101-year-old Florida woman known as the oldest driver on the planet says people may be surprised she renewed her driver's license until 2011.

Lillian Cox began driving in 1915 and can still be seen putting around Tallahassee, Fla., in her 1984 sedan, WKMG-TV in Orlando reported Thursday.

"They're surprised that I'd get a driver's license at 101. But I have four more years," she said. "I'm sure I look (101 years old) but they don't let me know that."

Cox said, however, she wants to be driven to her upcoming appearance on "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" in a limousine.
