Spoiler:I don’t want to be human. I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things properly, because I have to—I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language, but I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me. I’m a machine, and I can know much more.

However, there is forward progress on this front. The advent of cell phones and GPS has rendered the inevitable feminine demand to stop and ask directions completely ridiculous.
Not sure where you are? Pull over, open the phone's navigation app, and bang, you know where you are ,and which way to go, without having to consult strangers.

But I think the biggest factor is what I call "situational awareness"; a general sense of what is going on in your immediate physical space. It seems to be one of the first things that goes as far as skills needed to drive safely as people age.
And there are some poor souls who were born without it altogether. Most of them don't survive till old age, though.
But anyway, In a large portion, we have to trust people's self-evaluation on this, unless there is a demonstrable problem for a person.

A huge thing here in Australia when accidents are reported is elderly drivers hitting the accelerator instead of the brake pedal in almost all cases or people with medical conditions who are driving that really shouldn't be. Somehow doctors here don't know how to say no.Go home aliens, go home!!!!
