    My dad stopped driving at 80 but he remained living on the farm.
    If he needed to go somewhere, there was always a neighbor happy to help out.

    Dad went to the car dealership and spent $10k on a reasonably good 2nd hand car that he never drove - it would only get used if he needed someone to drive him somewhere.

    Using his own car that he pays all the running costs and maintenance on made it much more comfortable for him to ask a neighbor/friend/family for help.
