“I’m 68 and over the past few years I have noticed the deterioration of my driving skills “
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!
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.

Most drivers are above average?
My 83 year old business partner drives all over the place for managing his investment properties and doing charity stuff. Goes to parades all over Maine with the Shriners.
Yesterday, he stopped by the building I am working on with his dump truck to pick up a couch someone left by the dumpster. He and I lifted it up and over into the back and he drove off the the dump with his load of roofing debris, bricks, etc. that had been loaded in the truck over the last week or so. I have ridden with him and have no problem with his driving.
You do know that when people are jumping, when you drive by, they aren’t jumping for joy.
I’m 76 and feel confident behind the wheel or would not drive. The ability to drive as one ages varies widely from individual to individual.
