An older man who still drives poses with his car keys.
With accidents rising, here are 7 clever and kind ways people took their parents’ car keys

The number of older drivers in the United States continues to grow. According to data reported by NPR from the Federal Highway Administration, the number of drivers ages 65 and older increased by 88% from 2003 to 2023.
