Same as most other men who are 97———he’s no different.

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 had a relative who drove until his 100th birthday.
He had bought a new Ford Deluxe in 1946 and drove it to work at the bank, a 4 mile drive, and to church, 2 miles, every week until he retired.
Then it was to church each week and twice monthly to town until he reached 100.
His reason for parking his beloved Deluxe?
Without power steering it was too difficult to park the old girl and he was too old to pay the money for a new car.
He lived to 110 and hated being chauffeured around.

South Florida is loaded with them like that...ancient New York democrat transplant relics who never had a drivers license until they were 65.
