Might give it one more year, or maybe not, can't make my mind up.

I'm 77 and I think 80 is long enough, non of us can say our reactions are as good as they were at 30
The trick is to quit while your winning, traffic/roads are reaching breaking point.
Stress is causing men in their prime to drive like fools, eg.. hit & runs are now common place, think US diplomats and scallies.
80 will be long enough for me, God willing.
All the best.
