With one of the largest retiree populations in Florida, the Suncoast is full of families facing the same question: when does mom or dad stop driving? InvestigateTV+ Season 4, Episode 39 takes it on directly. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, older drivers are more likely than younger drivers to be in a crash and more likely to be seriously hurt, yet most have no plan for retiring from the road. Aging experts say the conversation should start early, not after a close call.
The episode covers more than driving. More than a dozen Atlanta-area homeowners say a major national builder left them with defective plumbing that began leaking about four years after move-in, a cautionary tale for anyone shopping new construction. Then there’s the story of Sabrina and Brenden Miller, who deliver 17 bags of comfort items to Oak Lawn Hospital’s birth center every year on their late son’s birthday, for mothers of stillborn children. Personal injury lawyer Sam Aguiar rounds out the episode, with 60 motivational billboards posted around town since December 2024.
If you’ve been avoiding the driving talk, this episode is a gentle nudge and a practical roadmap. Check your local listings for InvestigateTV+ and watch for the segments on consumer protection and community hope. What’s the one thing you’d want a parent to hear before handing over the keys?
