The purpose of this study was to understand the lived-experience of driving cessation for older women. A qualitative, collective case study method was used. From in-depth interviews of former drivers, three categories of themes emerged: driving history, the process of stopping driving, and the experience of being a non-driver. Overall, the women had felt comfortable and skilled behind the wheel and they missed driving. Adaptation came easiest to those who planned ahead for driving cessation and made the decision voluntarily. Remaining independent and mobile were important considerations in the decision to stop driving. Many of the women regularly use formal transit services although riding with friends provides a social context. Family is not the preferred choice for transportation except in an emergency or for basic care. Social workers must acknowledge the importance women place on their independence when helping them work through issues of driving cessation.
