American Fred Harold Hale set several records at once.
First, he became a supercentenarian. Hale died in the fall of 2004 at the age of 113.
Secondly, the man became one of the oldest fans: he supported the Boston Red Sox baseball team until his death.
Hale is also mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest driver.
At what age did Hale drive a car?
The man was known to drive his car at the age of 108.
Thanks to this achievement, the American was included in the Guinness Book of Records.
Later, Hale decided not to drive a vehicle again. The record holder explained his decision by not wanting to interfere with other road users.
Hale said older drivers are an annoyance to other drivers.
What else did the long-lived American surprise with?
It is known that Hale always remained sane. Despite his old age, the man enjoyed life and was active: he went on trips, was fond of games, and was engaged in beekeeping.
Even in his old age, the American saw perfectly well: he had no particular problems with his vision.
When Hale woke up, he ate a spoonful of honey. Perhaps this is one of the secrets of the record holder's incredible longevity.
