Here at Fleming & Curti, PLC, we’re very big on having you give someone the power to tell you when to stop driving. We usually include that in our health care power of attorney form.

A recent article in the Washington Post addressed the issue. It suggested that everyone over age 65 should consider signing an advance directive for driving authority. Our response: poppycock! Everyone, of every age, should make a decision now about who they trust to tell them that when to stop driving. We have. Will you?
