This is why self-driving cars are inevitable.

Honestly. What has that to do with anything in this case?

I’m 68 and over the past few years I have noticed the deterioration of my driving skills and I completely agree ... driving tests every few years after 70.
I just hope I’m wise enough to recognize when I should give up my car keys or, at the very least, listen when others tell me it is time.

Onion fell off his belt and was rolling around on the floorboard would be my guess.

Big solar flare. ZAP. No electronics. I’ll drive one of my ‘antique’ cars with carbs and point ignition and you can drive your self driving car

I've got a whole passle of kids that will be sequencing through their teen driving years starting in a couple of years.
I have been told with some authority, that grandpa won't have to drive again, once they get their licenses. ;)
I think I'll just take them up on that. I hate to drive.

Well,, I am 68 also, 69 in a month. I still go to the go-kart tracks. The thing that bums me out are that the Karts are so slow. My driving skills are fine!

It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.

That happens a lot in my town. Rich old geezers who are too old to drive, and can’t see very well even with their glasses. But they’re driving Lexus, Mercedes and Lamborghinis. And when they crash into something or somebody, they get a relatively small fine and walk away. There will never be a law to restrict impaired old people from diving, because they’ve got the bucks and they’ve got the Power.

Once again, I typed too fast. I meant “driving”. (Just trying to forestall the Grammar Police).

Glade to hear your skills are fine ... mine, not so much. I guess we all lose skills at different rates.
The slow loss of my driving skills I could probably attribute to the loss of situational awareness, something that comes with age and lack of practice. I don’t drive nearly as much as I use to.
