With apologies to Shakespeare’s “Richard III,”
transportation is a very big thing for most retirees. For years, as we retain
our independence, driving our own car is one of the most important things we
do. We drive to the mall and the grocery store, our physicians’ offices, to the
golf course, tennis courts, bowling alleys, restaurants, and to our children’s
homes if they live nearby. We drive to special events and meetings. We explore
the national parks, spend the winter in warm places and drive there whenever
it’s the right time.
