Typical pattern, it doesn't take long for that fuck it attitude to creep in like an invasive species, when you never call or come to visit. tsk tsk

I'm with Digr, don't think he's there yet.
My Aunt got to her early 90's and still driving a little. Drug store, grocery store, Doctors and the "Senior Center". All in town and close with very little traffic, except the doctor in the next town. I'd had occasion to watch her drive when she didn't know it and she was extremely cautious because she knew even a minor fender bender and it would be over.

One day her doctor asked if she had trouble driving to his office and she said yes because there was one odd shaped intersection where people are less predictable. Ten days later she gets a letter from the state to turn her license in. The Doctor had send in a form to the state. She didn't even know where to begin so my brother, who is her estate exec and has power of attorney had to intercede but it took him several weeks and a couple of afternoons camped at the Doctors office. It's a nightmare in areas with no public transportation. And all the solutions I've heard proposed sound like what we're seeing in elementary schools.
