Tom Jones 'Ordered To Retake Driving Test'

July 23, 2010
Tom Jones 'Ordered To Retake Driving Test'Sir Tom Jones has been told to that he must retake his driving test in America because he recently turned 70.

The Welsh star will need to do a sight test and multiple-choice exam before he can take the exam in his Bentley.

"I've been driving since I was 25 and I've re-read the book,” Sir Tom told the Daily Mirror. “They'll certainly have a shock when I get in the car."

But if the singer fails to pass, he said he’s confident he will still be able to tour in the US.

“I tend to fly to places or have a tour bus,” he said. “Then you only need a limousine to collect you from the airport."

The singer’s new album ‘Praise & Blame’ is released on August 4.
