too bad we don't have decent mass transit in most places. My dad voluntarily gave up driving when he rear-ended someone while cleaning his glasses. He was 84, and did the responsible thing. Now he wants to get his license again "for an emergency." I told him nobody would fault him for driving without a license in an emergency, which didn't make him happy. But I understand his problem, if he wants go go somewhere he has to get his wife to take him or he doesn't go. Cab service stinks in most parts of the U.S., but so many people would be better off if they would just use that. Why ruin your final years by hurting or maiming someone? Makes no sense.
Speaking of voting, if someone voluntarily gives up their license, in many states now it has become very difficult to vote.
