John......in respect of some things I know we all like to think we are young.......but if you find yourself making mistakes, or you begin to feel unsure or nervous about driving then you have to reassess your abilities.
There is an older guy in our street who drove very well until a few years ago.......he became scared of going out in his car, he said that the increase in the volume of traffic made him nervous, so he did what he thought was right, he sold it and gave up driving.

My next door neighbour is 79 and he still drives......he is competent and courteous, and has been driving all kinds of vehicle for almost 60 years.
I am sure he knows his capabilities and I have no doubt he would call it a day if he thought he was not safe to drive.
