Driving Ability

Residential street corner
One of the touchiest subjects between adult children and their parents is when they should stop driving. Some indicators that it may be time to relinquish the keys include:

Driving too fast or too slow
Slow reaction time to obstacles including pedestrians and other drivers
Relying on passengers for help navigating the road
Failing to yield or obey traffic signals
Not being able to turn the wheel quickly or the reaction time to hit the brakes quickly
The inability to judge the distance between other cars
Increasing number of accidents or near misses
Drifting across lane markings or bumping into curbs
Forgetting to turn on headlights after dark
Being bothered by glare from oncoming headlights, streetlights, or other bright objects
Getting lost repeatedly in familiar areas
