Writer, public commentator and former cinema director Ingeborg Moræus Hanssen says she knew she had reached the end of her driving years when she turned 80.

“Over time, you notice that you do not like driving when it is dark. For a long time, you keep going by driving only during the day. But really, it is a sign that things are beginning to become difficult,” she said.

Hanssen, now 87, says she began driving at the age of 12. She believes more people should consider leaving the car behind as traffic accidents involving older people have increased over time.
