| It's time. Here are the keys. |
North Americans are especially hard to convince (win over) because we love our cars. Putting it mildly, public transport is not a fully functioning alternate way of transport on this continent. At least in Europe there is a modicum of transit opportunities; so there lies the biggest problem — dependency.
“You're a great dad and a super boss but you're neither to me. I decide when it's time to stop”. - Henry Reagan (Blue Bloods)
So far, I have been challenged with only 3 events in my life that required this debate. From my experience the only way to hang up the keys is through their own self-recognition (barring any medical reason). Try to chauffeur them around or take a bus or train together. Help to wean them from their dependency of sitting behind that wheel but don't try to take their license away. The support of a loving family leading the decision does help.
