Gave up my drivers license, at 70yo. Much safer for other drivers. My doctor said when taking serious meds that come with a warning about not driving and operating machinery label take the warning seriously. You could be charged with a DWI. No more driving.
 
I believe you made a wise decision. I hope I'm that considerate enough to make that decision when the time comes. Unfortunately we like our independence and have a hard time giving it up enough to give up our driver's license. I see a few in my area, and it's at different ages, that need to make that same considerate choice.
 
That is a tough decision. Hopefully, family is supportive and available to assist. Glad you considered your own safety and that of others.
 
Yes my family helps me and I hire homemakers to drive me when no one can be here. Very nice older ladies, fun to chat with.
 
I'll be 77 years old in a couple of months. Still in good health, get around reasonably well. Yesterday the lung function doctor told me so, but also added I should give up everything enjoyable. That is true.

Over the past several years I have noticed the increase in my limitations. Also noticed my wife and son now doing a lot more assisting in things I would normally do myself or placing restrictions on my "activities" such as driving myself to medical appointments.

Biggest restriction, tell wife exactly where I'm going and cell phone in pocket if there is not going to be other people around.

I have decided that no fight, no argument, I will give up my drivers license when my wife or kids suggest it.
