there were many stories being written about the elderly driver. NPR had a few table talks about it.

Newspapers “ How to talk about turning over the keys”.

What to do.

We faced it as a family and failed miserably.

My parents lived right here in Falmouth too.

We suggested a taxi fund.

No go.

My son Jeff is still driving their last car.

A Nissan Sentra.

I see plenty here and about and it’s not good at all.

So a check ride is my suggestion. Next time you visit ask them to drive you someplace tricky.

There is a little bit of “ getting away with it” as the driver knows their skills have diminished.

The consequences of an accident might be discussed too.

So I expect this “ problem” to rear its head again soon. It’s one of those tales we recycle.
