Plus, soliciting reader ideas for getting around after giving up keys.
Q: When in his early 80s, my dad drove us to shoot pool at his local senior center during one of my visits. He had always been an excellent driver, but I was horrified and scared that day.
After we made it back to his house, I called my two siblings about this. Both had recently had the same experience. Later that night, I told Pops about our concerns, and a few unsettling things I noticed as he drove. He thanked me and said he’d consider it. A few weeks later, he asked my sibs and me to send him a letter about our concerns. We immediately did and he then handed over his keys to our mom.
In an attempt to help him with his new non-driving status, I visited again for a few days and we explored the local bus system together , and transportation services provided through the senior center. We shopped, mailed some packages, and shot more pool. Once he realized he could still get around, and still play with his pals, he was a happy man, and we were relieved siblings.Q: Your columns on how to incentivize people to stop driving are interesting.
It would be a great service to your readers to ask for and then publish non-mass-transit alternatives that some have used . I’m sure many people would be more willing to stop driving if they knew they could maintain self-sufficiency without a car. It would help us all.Related Articles
