Taking the car keys away from an aging parent is no fun. I’ve had to do it once, with the sequel coming very soon. The cursings and disownings and “you’ll be sorry one day” is just part of life. The Royals needed to step up a long time ago on this.

Mom gave me hers, at 90-91 after a couple of near misses.

A friend of mine took out a spark plug on his dad’s car. He told his dad that a part is on order but it is a difficult one to find. So far, so good.

Thank god my 8o y.o. dad isn’t stubborn. He gave up his motorcycle 15 years ago because he knew he couldn’t handle it anymore and he admitted to me as he was driving us to an estate sale last weekend that it might be time “real soon” to give up his driving all together.

My Mom is 96 and about 6 mos ago after she sustained a spinal stress fracture we started discouraging her from driving. The car sits in the carport but we live across the street and she knows we watch. We now take her where she needs to go. She now uses the car as a threat of we don't move fast enough to take her somewhere. 😡

And when the bloody royals didn't, the authorities should have.
