Avoid bloodguilt. (Deuteronomy 22:8) A car is a dangerous weapon when it is not operated safely. A person who keeps driving even though his skills have diminished could risk his own life and that of others. And if he were responsible for a fatal accident, he could incur bloodguilt.
If you are faced with the difficult decision of whether to stop driving, avoid thinking that you might lose your dignity or value as a person. Jehovah loves you for your beautiful qualities, including your modesty, humility, and concern for the welfare of others. And he promises to sustain you and comfort you. (Isaiah 46:4) He will never abandon you. So ask him to help you use practical wisdom and spiritual discernment as you decide whether you should stop driving.
