I am now 82 and my wife is 78. We are still both capable drivers. We recently moved into a city environment, well served with shops and free public transport. Earlier this year we got rid of our car after 30 years of owning one because I found myself being more and more concerned about the car not being used. Withdrawal symptoms made us buy another one later. But circumstances have not changed, nor have my concerns. It seems that the lure of having days out in the car and occasional need to use it for carrying things is more imaginary than real. It is not a matter of motoring costs or a need for visiting family, so we would be grateful for any comment or advice.
