“Dick’s gotten to the point where he needs to be taken off the road — for his own safety and the safety of others. Arlene is terrified if she doesn’t take the keys away now, it may be too late!” an insider shared at the time, claiming that Van Dyke saw it differently. “Dick is chafing at Arlene’s concerns. He’s aware of his age, but he’s determined to maintain his independence.”

His old age hasn’t stopped Van Dyke from plugging away on his career, as the actor has ignored his loved ones’ warnings about slowing down in his elder years.

Van Dyke said that “everyone needs to butt out and leave him to enjoy the time he has left however he wants,” a source snitched. After his car accident, Van Dyke joked, “All my friends are dead. I’m still having fun.”
