An 82-year-old volunteer gardener took his own life because he was 'ashamed' of a possible dangerous driving conviction, an inquest has been told.

These would let them drop authors whose books they did not want to finance any more if they had had, for example, a driving conviction or affair.

A driver must report any driving conviction within 30 days, except parking, to their employer regardless of the nature of the violation.

The driving conviction was that philosophy should be freed of its technical jargon so that more people would be able to read it.
