Too old to learn?

Hi all
Just for opinions really. My partner who drives and lives about 40 minutes away has offered to pay for driving lessons for me after i asked him to teach me, he thinks the best thing would be to learn independently.
So am i too old to learn at 50? Anyone else share experiences?

Of course you’re not too old.
Lots of people learn new skills far older than 50.
I’m not sure I’d bother at 95 though!

There is no maximum age to learn how to drive in the UK, but once you reach the age of 70 your licence expires and you have to renew it every three years, rather than every 10 years for under 70s. Since 2016, there has been one 99-year-old applicant, one aged 98, two aged 97, one aged 96 and four aged 95.
