Time to stop driving. Period


My mom was driving on the freeways of San Diego at 99. She had some fender benders—when people crashed into her. The last one was in a parking lot when an old lady in a mobility scooter hit her car and then drove off—a hit and run with a mobility scooter.

Anyway, everyone ages differently. Some have to take the keys away from 70-year olds.But you may be right, it might be time to take the keys from Phillip. There’s probably someone around who can take him down to pub.

I have no problems with elderly people driving. I do think driving tests need to be more frequent, due to general diminishing health, but if you can pass them, DRIVE, BABY, DRIVE!

At least that’s what she told you.:-)

Most women are better at self-restricting their driving than men are-—I am one of them.
