[quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand old people who won’t give up their keys. With rideshare apps it’s not like they are losing their independence. I am a passenger princess who hates driving (my DH drives whenever we’re both in the car). Once no longer have the regular demands of driving kids around in a minivan, I would gladly stop paying for a car, gas, insurance, taxes, maintenance, etc. and just hire someone to drive me around to the store or wherever I need to go. And I know SO many older people who keep driving despite things like chronic back pain causing leg weakness, Parkinson’s, cognitive issues, etc. but it’s a nightmare to take their keys away. We need to do a better job of treating driving like a privilege and start doing more frequent testing once someone hits age 65 (it seems like late 60s to early 70s is where a lot of older people go from still being young-ish to old).[/quote]
