Americans are keeping their driver’s licenses longer thanever and driving well into their old age. But how long is too long? And whodecides when to take away the keys?
NPR’s transportation correspondent, Joel Rose, has beenlooking into those questions and found that there is no single national standardwhen it comes to older adults and driving. And the laws vary greatly from stateto state.
Often, the decision on whether it is time to take away thekeys is left to family members. And that can be difficult when the driverresists.
