An increasing population of older drivers raises concerns about driving safety as age-related decline affects skills. Many Americans aged 65 and older depend on driving for mobility and independence, making license limitations or revocations disruptive. Families often face difficult conversations and decisions when a parent or relative shows diminishing driving abilities, balancing safety with autonomy. Personal responses can include monitoring, arranging alternative transportation, obtaining medical assessments or driving evaluations, staged transitions, and legal or administrative steps.
