--- "put miles driven un the equation. i’m 80...I drive 1000 miles a year."

You'll hear me, close behind in age. And yet my bride and I went from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic in a leisurely, we-have-no-precise-plan manner. I did all the driving, and she all the navigation. Saw trucking accidents a plenty in our travels.

I fully empathize with those anecdotes on this thread, but each case is an individual case. I took my mother's keys and DL from her many years ago, and then saw to all her needs thereafter. In contradisctincion, my FIL drove until 95. So anecdotes are anecdotes and stats are stats.

I’m 81 and me and mine are always on the road. Baseball in Cincinnati, a fine Chinese restaurant in Gallipolis, visit family in Columbus.

We’re always on the road, with the exception of weekends. TOO MANY DOPERS!!

Ain’t no way in hell would I give up my pickup truck. :)
