At what age did your parents stop driving? Or are they still on the road?
My Dad stopped of his own volition around 82-83. I think he realized his legs were no longer strong enough to operate the gas/brake pedals. And I suspect he had a scare or two on the road that we didn't know about.
Mom is 85 and still drives. No long trips, just around town. For now, I think she is still capable. But just like when we were young, you get too many friends in the car and you increase the distraction level.
