At what age do you stop driving?

You’re right I never did say why. But it’s because I have severe copd/ emphysema. Even with oxygen when I am moving around exerting my self I get very SOB and need help getting around. So she wants someone to take me just incase I run into trouble and need help.
I guess I’m just afraid of losing my independence, but I totally get where she is coming from. If I have a hard time at home doing anything I would hate to see if I went out by myself.
I appreciate everyone’s feed back.

@cathy58. after reading your main post a few times i had a feeling it might be COPD/Emphysema. that's why the oxygen. i will offer this advice. please consult with your doctor about how bad this is. only then will you be able to make an informed decision about driving. i'm sorry but this is to important for you not to do so. you say you're a grandmother. first think of yourself. family, and grandkids. put all of this into your decision making. is it worth the loss of life or independence. it's a tough choice.
