For me, it'll be a tough decision and I don't expect to accept the judgement of others easily.

My father made that decision on his seventieth birthday and never regretted it.

Mind you, he'd clocked up a couple of million miles by then and had had enough.

Well, at 78 years of age I sure would regret it. After all, my knees are shot to hell, but I have lightning quick reflexes, good vision, a finely tuned mind, a positive attitude and a modest disposition. :wah:

I'd have to move if I couldn't drive. I wouldn't be able to live in the middle of the forest anymore. I'd miss the traveling and roaming. Perhaps I'd have to go find a surrogate driver. As long as my eyes and reflexes are good and I can drive, I will.
