[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on the individual. As PP’s have suggested she might do OK with a smaller car that has cameras, and possibly one of the larger “panoramic” rear view mirrors. The various parking aids that vibrate when you’re close also spring to mind. There are companies that adapt vehicles for disabled people. It might be worth consulting one. There are driver improvement classes for older people to help them understand their limitations. If adaptation won’t work, or she can’t afford a different vehicle and no one will help her, she may need to switch to having somebody drive her. It’s not cheap but neither is vehicle ownership and maintenance. In the case of one of my friends, the elderly person’s car finally broke down permanently. That person switched to being driven around by their children for the most part, and seemed to like it. [/quote]
