@fiesty76 @gingerw- I've been thinking about this a lot. Although I would mourn my loss of youth I don't mind having someone else drive. It gives me a chance to look around and being carted around instead of the opposite. The only time right now that bothers me is when Dave has a problem if we get lost (not very often) or when he drives like an old ...t lol

@merpreb My husband says "I drive like a grandma". I remind him I have never had a ticket, nor caused an accident, and have handled vehicles all the way up to 18-wheeler. I study the roads and note how curves are cambered and angled, and know how my vehicle will handle in different road conditions. Test drives for me usually leave the salesperson pretty shaken up. But when the time comes that I feel no confidence in my abilities to drive, I will give it up.
