I passed my test last year, but I stopped voluntarily when I turned 90, I thought that it was finally the right time. Needless to say, my family was relieved-they didnt have to have that talk with me. My doctor was relieved too. Compared to a serious illness, taking away a senior driving license is one of the hardest things to do.

But now, my ride is free from traffic and noise, with trees and greenery replacing cars and street signs.Giving up driving is hard, and some of us never accept the loss. For me, however, it was just the end result of a long and lucky life. Life in the slow lane turned out to be so much fun-and so much cheaper.（1）The old man gave up driving because . A .
