Richard Hammond drives again

Top Gear presenter gets behind the wheel for first time since crash

Richard Hammond has been back behind the wheel for the first time since his horror crash and says: 'I will remember this day for the rest of my life.'

The Top Gear presenter took his wife Mindy for a spin in his Morgan sports car at the weekend after doctors gave him the go-ahead to drive again - less than two months after he suffered serious brain injury in a 288mph jet car crash.

After the unevental drive, the 36-year-old told the Daily Mirror: 'As I got back in the driving seat, it felt like I was back where I belonged.

'I have really missed driving and the freedom that comes with it. I didn't realise how much until today. Mindy has been my driver for the last few weeks and now I'm looking forward to taking her out for a drive and a nice lunch this week.'
