A few years back, I had 2 neighbours. One was 89 and had a license. She crashed into a tree on the 800M trip up to the local supermarket. She then quit driving.
Second one didn't think she would get hers renewed when she turned 80. She decided to just keep driving, but again just 800M to the local supermarket. Then she ran into a tree 50M from home. She then quit driving.
Over 11 years, I drove a school van of teen mums and their babies. Did a quarter million Km up till Mid 2019. Last 18 months, have not been to good to me and I rarely drove with SWMBO being the chauffer nowadays. When the time came to get my license recently at turning 80. I decided I was probably OK but then, reaction times not really good enough in an emergency. Thought about the trees on the 800M drive to the supermarket and decided to quit driving.
