I can't see any sign of such a person in the GRO England and Wales death index.

You didn't need to pass an official test to get a UK driving licence until 1935. Here's an earlier thread on the subject:
Who was granted the very first driving licence?
As Vitesse 2 pointed out in that thread, driving licences became compulsory in the UK on 1st January 1904, but there's no info on any age limit.
