5 Warning Signs It’s Time to Stop Driving with Parkinson’s

5 Warning Signs It’s Time to Stop Driving with Parkinson’s

One of the hardest conversations with Parkinson’s is not about medication, symptoms, or exercise. It is about driving. When is it time to stop? How do you know when the risk is too high? Nobody ever gives you a clear answer.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I share the five biggest warning signs that may signal it is time to give up the keys. I also open up about the changes I have personally noticed in my own driving and why this conversation matters more than pride ever will.

We talk about:
🚗 Slowed reaction times and hesitation
🧭 Coordination and depth perception issues
🧠 Getting lost or disoriented on familiar routes
⚠️ Close calls, curb clips, and small mistakes that add up
👀 What family and care partners often notice before we do

This episode also introduces a brand new segment, Carmen’s Care Partner Corner, where my wife and care partner shares honest advice on how to have the driving conversation with love, clarity, and courage.

This is a tough topic, but it is also an important one. Giving up the keys is not about losing independence. It is about protecting it.
