[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're isn't anything to discuss. If he can safely drive and has the money, he's fine. Don't be greedy[/quote]

This. I do think OP has a right to intervene if they are closing in on the point where they will have to take away the keys (old or new). But nothing in OP's post suggested this, so I'm on Team MYOB. [/quote]

Did you miss the part where she said he's 84-years-old?[/quote]

If his previous car didn't die, he would still be driving it around. These are two separate things - whether he is fit to drive and whether he should get a new car to replace the old one. OP does not say that they think he is unsafe driving. OP only mentions whether or not to get a new car and thinks leasing would be a better option (indicating her question is more about finances).

Personally I think all seniors should require driving tests every 5 years between 60-75 and every 2 years after that. But that's not what this thread is about. [/quote]
