[quote=Anonymous]My mother is in her nineties and is slowing down. She doesn't hear well, and goes to bed early. Fine. Lives independently--and drives herself to the store, to friends' houses, out for coffee. My three siblings say she must stop driving because of her age. Suppose something happens? Take the keys! Sell the car! (do we even have a right to do that?) There's Lyft and Uber! I'm furious at them. Let mom drive. Let her be independent for as long as she can. For what it's worth, it's the tone of the arguments that get to me--as if we kids are suddenly in charge of her life and I'm a fool for "letting her drive." If she were infirm, or in assisted living, that's another matter. I've never gotten along well with my three siblings, so that doesn't help. Your views welcome. [/quote]
