I chose that I drive close to home, though I guess that depends what you mean by "close". I've known some people who shouldn't have been driving at ALL (eyesight, mostly, but some dementia) that only drove close to home. Guess they figured it was okay if they killed somebody in the neighborhood.

My eyesight is fine, I don't especially have weakness as far as moving my legs around and operating the pedals. But a long drive makes a long day, so I usually stick to within about 20 miles from home, except when I'm feeling relatively chipper and we go for a ride to NH. That's maybe 70 miles round trip, maybe a little farther.

My major issues are fatigue and muscle pain from sitting in one position. I also don't do "heavy" traffic (that's in quotation marks because I live in Vermont), because it increases my anxiety. An anxious driver isn't the safest driver.

I shudder to contemplate the day I have to hang up the keys. My husband doesn't drive, and we live in a tiny village--right now there isn't even a store here. So we'd be totally dependent on...whoever.
