     This article emphasizes upon figuring out when to keep an elder from driving based on their abilities, not their age alone.  It tells about different ways to know when the elderly person in question isn't able to drive anymore or as much, and even helps by giving tips on how to tell that person that they should no longer be driving.  

Neighmond, Patti. "When Should Seniors Hang Up The Car Keys?" NPR. NPR, n.d. Web. 21 May 2013.
     This is another article about helping a person tell their parent or other elderly relative that it's time to stop driving, and why you should tell them before it's too late.  

"Senior Driving." : Safety Tips, Warning Signs, and When to Stop. N.p., n.d. Web. 17 May 2013.
     This article gives tips on safe driving for seniors, and warning signs that they maybe should limit or stop driving.  It gives suggestions on things to notice such as neck pain or stiffness, diminished arm strength, and failure to notice road signs that would aid in deciding when to stop.  

"Older Drivers, Elderly Driving, Seniors at the Wheel." Older Drivers, Elderly Driving, Seniors at the Wheel. N.p., n.d. Web. 17 May 2013.
     This article has statistics about the elderly and how they are related to car accidents, as well as different solutions that are being suggested and ways that the country is addressing the problem by means of mandatory driving tests.

     This article talks a bit about the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and their take on the natural decline in cognitive and physical abilities in the elderly and how it could affect their driving abilities. 

"Statistics On Accidents Involving Elderly Drivers." Wgrz.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 03 June 2013.
     This article had a few statistics that I thought would be useful.  It talks more about the other side, showing that the elderly maybe aren't that bad at driving after all.
