Each of us should regularly and honestly evaluate our own driving abilities. For the most part, we know what we can handle and what we can't. I've already given up night driving, unless it's to familiar and nearby places. I only drive on the expressway in the middle of the day when traffic is light. Having trucks barreling down on me or alongside of me make me very nervous. I am defiitely slower and more cautious.

My father-in-law had Parkinson's when I first met him. One of the saddest days was when there was a family intervention to take his car keys away. I still can see the anger and pain he felt at this humiiation and loss of independence. I hope I will relinquish my car keys before my husband and sons have to take them. Better yet, I hope there's a cure soon so that none of us have to be in this position.
