Issues surrounding the reduction and cessation of driving among older persons were explored in a focus-group study. In all, 16 focus groups of drivers, former drivers, and driving couples over age 65, and adult children of older drivers and former drivers were conducted in a large urban area and in a small-town/rural area. Only a few participants had made adjustments in their housing to accommodate their eventual inability to drive. Male participants, in particular, were reluctant to think about stopping driving. Most former drivers had stopped driving quickly as a result of a health problem, crash, or move to a new city. Some hope to drive again. Driving is very important to older drivers and former drivers, as it represents freedom, independence and convenience. Concerned adult children of older drivers usually find it difficult to deal with their parents' driving reduction and cessation process.
