Burn Out - When to take the keys

When To Turn Over The Car Keys?

Only you really know how you feel when you are behind the wheel. Are you beginning to get nervous in driving situations that used to be effortless? Perhaps you find yourself anxious when merging with traffic.

Another sign that you may be ready to stay off the roads is your reaction time. Studies show that as we all age, our reaction time slows down. And the statistics used every year by state motor vehicle departments and safety associations link reaction time with crashes.

Assess your reaction time and be honest with yourself. Are you responding quickly enough when something unexpected happens? Have you been close to hitting another car or an animal in the road? Do you stop for pedestrians?
