About getting a car:
Some recent models have extra safety features such a "following too close " distance controls, "drifting out of lane" warnings and so on.
This is something older drivers should consider.

Yes, those features are quite common now, and they work fairly well. No substitute for an alert and skilled driver, but they can get that person out of a few binds now and then, and of course save a life or two.

I have those features on my car but I can't feel my feet on the pedals so I can't drive. I'm 83. If I was younger I would try hand controls.
