Driving at 80 years

Published by

My 80-year-old father is still driving. We want him to stop but he is still driving. Kindly let me know if this is right.

The age to stop driving varies a great deal from one individual to another. In some cases, a man in good health and good vision (day and night) at age 83 can still drive but he must be more careful than younger men.

He must make it a point to concentrate on everything on the road around him and if possible, avoid driving at night.
