Agreed. How do you go about telling someone that they don't have the right to drive anymore after decades? The car is the true American symbol of freedom, moreso than the flag or the Statue of Liberty or DisneyLand or what have you.
One of my customers had his liscense taken away after a couple of accidents (he's in his late 70's and had a stroke several years ago), and you could tell it just crushed him. For older guys, taking away their right to drive is the effective equivalent of neutering them (an action generally already performed in the literal sense by age). It is a really sad situation to be in, but necessary sometimes.
Shit...that was depressing.
