When is it time to give up driving?

Someone "ratted" on my late Aunt and she got a notice to come in for a driving test which, of course, she didn't pass. She was furious. I don't know who instigated it, but we think it was her doctor.

My late mother stopped driving at 95. She was about as good a driver as you'd want to encounter, with great eyesight and reflexes. She stuck to the routes she knew, but traffic was getting so bad in her area she agreed it was time to sell the car.

I wonder if some states require doctors to rat on patients who, in their opinion or based on some test or neurological issue, shouldn't be driving.

I'm gonna look into it...just curious.
 
I'm a good driver. Safe, courteous. I let my frustrations out with a big "F.U." or "U F'ing idiot!" or whatever, but I don't use gestures and the windows are always up, and then I'm over it.

But I don't like to drive. I haven't been particularly fond of driving since I had 3 kids under age 5 and it became more a chore than a pleasure.

Probly when my kids learned all about cussing; daddy behind the wheel = curse lesson.

Maybe it was a car game. "You count how many times daddy says 'bleep', I'll count the bleeps'; and whoever gets the most wins."

Anyway, I'm a good driver but I only drive when I have to.
