    DescriptionProfessor Charles Musselwhite from the University of Aberystwyth has studied older driving behaviours. He is concerned about the negative effect that giving up driving can have on mental health if people do not have other ways to get around and stay connected. He told Tonight: “Lots of older people, who do give up driving, end up feeling very isolated. They feel they can no longer be part of society.”
