Gosh, reminds me of a time I visited my Grandparents and my Grandfather drived even though I insisted I should. That car ride made me scared for my life.
Being old sure seems hard. At my Grandfather’s age, the average person in America is pretty out of shape, so walking isn’t an option. There are almost no buses anywhere out in the suburbs, so public transit isn’t an option either (and even if there were, the bus stops would need to be within a much shorter walking distance.)
Then again, the article is right that many old people would likely feel robbed of their agency if things like Advanced Driving Directives were implemented. It sucks that America is so car-centric…
