A good point. I've had a relative continue to drive until multiple
accidents forced him to stop. Until he had more than a couple of wrecks,
he refused or was unable to recognize that his abilities were
diminished. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries in any of these
incidents, but driving is more forgiving in this respect than flying.
