To answer the OP original question. When you are no longer safe and put other people in harms way, should one give up their right to drive.
Unfortunately, some people like my dad saw this as a loss of independence. I was riding with him one day and a cat crossed in front of him and he never saw it. I shutter to think if that could have been a child.
I wonder if anyone thinks of how they would feel if they killed someone, because they refused to give up, the right to drive. Hopefully, all of us will do the right thing when, the time comes.

To be totally open I don't know if I would have the same outlook if it was my car license. There have been some horrific accidents that my former co-workers were involved in and when they happened nobody ever asked about injuries, everyone ran to look at the driver's log book. I followed the rules to the best of my ability but not perfectly. So many CDL vehicles are paid on commision which turns the drivers into an animal behind the wheel because they make nothing sitting in a traffic jam and if they do have a delay they ride like a fool trying to make up time when the delay ends. I pray when it's my time to not drive I have my mind about me to make that decision correctly. Its has to be rough! I saw some things when I was visiting last year on the road that were sad. It wasn't only people of advanced age that were acting up!
