@heartyrainbow My first reply disappeared. My experience is that giving up driving is one of the last vestiges of independence. It seems to affect men more than women. My mother had dementia and became fearful of everything. She stopped driving about 8 years before she passed.

My dad did not have dementia, but slowed reflexes to things. He finally realized accidents in the parking lots, and close calls on the road, were his doing. He turned his license in and sold his car at age 93. He passed at age 96.
