Glad we are the safest drivers, but age is catching up with us and I hope they find more alternatives to everyone driving.
In a city like Spokane, not being able to drive anymore is often the end of a senior's social and civic involvement in the community, depending on their ability and willingness to ride the bus. There are various agencies putting their heads together on this behind the scenese so we'll see what they come up with.
