I agree with both posts and was actually going to post same for driving. As sad as it is, we have to admit as we age we are just not the same. My family had that discussion about my dad who died at 94. Until about 93, he was very active and alert he drove, shopped, cooked and took care of my mom who had a stroke. Within the year we noticed some changes in his memory and just overall actions. We didn’t have to make that terrible decision of telling him he couldn’t drive anymore and taking his keys away. He died within that year and we found out he had stage 4 bladder cancer. It’s a very hard and sad decision but for their safety and the safety of others, hard decisions have to be made. I feel it’s the same for guns, cars and golf carts. I always felt that at a certain age licenses shouldn’t just be renewed automatically a test should be given again.
