[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 710061, member: 1963"] My mother is 82 and just passed her driving test (including road and vision) in Dec. She is already planning for the day when she has to give up driving, and has restricted her driving herself a she ages. For example, she no longer drives at night at all. She doesn't drive on bad roads, and for the most part only drives to familiar places. She drives a 2001 Honda CRV that is on a salvage title because the ins company totaled it out 2 years ago when she got rear ended. Vehicle looks fine and is perfectly safe to drive (mechanic inspected). Ins co. totaled it because it would've cost more to fix the mechanism on the rear hatch than the car was worth. She puts her stuff on the back seat and tootles onward. She will give up driving when/if this car dies, even if she is still able to drive. Cognitively, she is fine, just occasionally very slightly forgetful, which is handled by writing things down. [/QUOTE]
