It's true, it is very difficult to go out with your friends if you have to meet them by catching a taxi or bus. Dating would also be a major disaster without a drivers license. The next group that was focused upon were the senior citizens. Becoming an ex-driver. Losing a drivers license is a significant and meaningful life situation.
Most senior citizens dread the loss of driving privilages.
Never the less they believe that they are able to compensate for their impairments. They felt that experience, not physical imparement is the key factor. These are the few alternatives that they had. The taxi is another option but, usually too expensive. Losing their license, therefore, would confine them to their homes, leaving them dependent on family or friends to take them somewhere.
