Not pickin' on you specifically, just pickin' on the selfish concept.... it's not very comforting to the rest of us who share the road.
When we hit the road on '06, I set my own time limit...at age 70-72, we would throw out the anchor in our most favored place.

Why is it selfish? Why is it unsafe? I know a number of people using wheelchairs while driving. Disabled does not mean your life is over.
My comment had nothing to do with physical disabilities, they would be the same for any age group....but had everything to do with the aging process.
Why is it unsafe ?....read here, look at the graphs closely: Elderly Drivers
Obviously, not all elderly (me included) will "age" at the same rate, however it will happen and when it does, we all need to self assess and make the necessary adjustments.

I agree with some needing to quit. You did not reference that though. You just made a blanket statement saying "ust pickin' on the selfish concept.... it's not very comforting to the rest of us who share the road."
If you are capable of driving and handling everything, go for it! Why sit at home, just waiting for the Grim Reaper?
