My mom is 86 and we’ve discouraged her to drive. REcently 2 doctors advised the same and one offered to sign legal papers if necessary to forbid her to drive. Frankly, I think all drivers should have to re-take the driving test every 10 years. I believe AARP feels that IF OLDER DRIVERS PROVE CAPABLE, able to pass vision and driving tests, they should not be forbidden to drive based solely on age. AFter all the highest insurance premiums are for teenage male drivers. They’re the ones who tend to take stupid risks and drive too fast. Just Curious
