I gave up driving a couple of years ago and sold my car. I hate having to find rides but I couldn't live with myself if I injured or killed someone just because I wanted to keep my freedom,

I quit when we moved to a senior living facility. This was one of the main reasons I decided to sell our place and move. My husband wasn't thrilled with me deciding to no longer drive but he had not driven in at least 3 years. But I felt although I could still drive I really did not want to anymore. And the place we moved to took us shopping and to doctor appointments. After the first year I decided to donate our SUV to the facility.

My husband was diagnosed at 68 in 2021 and took a two-part driving evaluation. He passed but then he hit a pole in a parking lot that was partially obscured and totaled his car. Although it arguably wasn’t his fault, he decided to stop almost all driving. Even though I work full-time, I now take him to his medical appointments and do most of the driving, and he just does errands within 10 minutes from home in the daylight. He felt it was the right decision and I’m proud of him for making it. Now if I could only convince him to use Uber! ~Diana

I have given up driving. I could drive if an emergency arose. I knew it was time when my son told me that my granddaughters could not ride in my car when I am driving. That will get your attention!

My doctor has not recommended a driving test. I know that I should stay off of the road. My vision is blurry and I am uncomfortable in the driver's seat. Time to give it up!!!
