- Doctors looked at me and they were shocked that i still read without glasses, my hearing is excellent and my heart works like its a boy's heart - said for Informer Pavao Mackovic.
His memory took him 74 years before, when he was taking his driver's test.
- I was almost 20 when engineer from Pesta came to question me for my driver's exam. There were no handbooks back then, and i was a mechanic for three years by then and i have driven cars, so the exam was not hard for me. Since then, i changed two Hungarian licences, two Yugoslavian, military and civilian, then one from Montenegro, because i lived 20 years in Budva, and now i have Serbian - remembers Paveo.
God knows how many kilometers i went, both in motorcycles and in cars, and now i cross them with bicycle. Last year alone i went more than 1.000 kilometers with my bicycle - said this vital man from Subotica.
He said that doctors congratulated me after the examination and extended my licence for 2 more years.
During his driver's life he changed cars from "Moskvitch" to "Corsa", which he drives now.
- As a car mechanic i knew not to buy some old car, because when the repairs start, there is no end to it. So i bought new "Fica" (Zastava 750), and after 10 years another one, then i had two "Renault 4", then "Fiat 850", after "Renault 5" and now i drive "Corsa" - remembers Mackovic and adds:
- I had luck for all 74 years, i have never had any accident for all the years i have been behind a wheel, and i went almost around the world.
His vitality lies in recipes he never deviates from.
- The most dangerous thing in life is being lazy, so, it is desirable to always do something. I exercise at least 20 minutes a day, then there is a massage, everything in its own order. Besides that, one should be modest in eating, drinking and of course should be away from night life.
