I just found out that my dad did something dumb. He drove recklessly, and fortunately didn't hurt anyone. This could have ended very badly.

Any ideas on how to deal with that? Car sabotage? That's the only thing I can think of. He's probably way too stubborn to give up his license, so maybe it will take some tickets to convince him. I don't know. All I know is I don't want anyone dying due to his actions.

Any ideas on how to deal with that?

My friend was a multimillionaire trash tycoon who sold his business to WASTE MANAGEMENT and retired. When it became obvious that he was slipping he would shuffle his feet when walking.

He had two accidents in his Hebrew Canoe in a month, and the insurance company solved the problem. The insurer told him that his premium would be some ridiculous, pie in the sky figure like $2600 a quarter, and he offered to pay it. So, they finally said they couldn't insure him any longer. Needless to say the word went out through BIG INSURANCE back channels and no other company would touch him.

In both accidents he claimed he was not at fault. In the 2nd he said, "We never should have moved the cars before the police came" as if that would have cleared him. Poor old man.

He was rich, stubborn and used to getting his own way.(When a union goon threatened his family while trying to organize the trash haulers, my friend said, "If anything happens to my family a big garbage truck will come right through your front office", and he meant it. NOBODY called ol Mr. Tom's bluff.)

But, in the end he couldn't get around the insurance companies. So, he ended up being chauffeured by his Mexican horse trainer.

If you honestly believe that Pop is a danger to himself and others just call his insurance company then stand back and watch as the poor old gent is given the big shaft and denied freedom of movement in his car.

And, remember the AARP motto: "Hit and run means never having to say you're sorry."

Thanx!

I've seen it several times. Some poor old soul who can barely see over the steering wheel cut's the wheel too hard and scrapes the car next to him or her while backing out of a parking space, usually in a shopping center/grocery store parking lot.

They never get out and check because they want plausible deniability if they're spotted and reported. If questioned later they'll then claim that they "didn't even know (they) wiped out the whole side of another vehicle!", while picking up just a little paint on the "demolition Derby knife edge" of their big ol' Caddy's bumper." And, the loud screech everyone hears except them while they're making their getaway? Well, you know, old folks just don't hear so well and......

Many of them know that if they report another accident that they'll lose their insurance, and as Americans they're accustomed to freedom and self reliance. And they know that their married-with-children kids are too busy with work, soccer practice, bowling and Mary Kay liquor and cosmetics orgies to be bothered with some cranky old person's transportation needs. (This is the B side to modern medicine which keeps the body alive after the brain is shutting down)

As Don Johnson pointed out in the 1993 film, "Guilty as Sin" "You old people are a real pain in the ass. You talk too slow and you walk too low and you drive too slow and you're always in the fucking way...."

The fact is old folks who are clearly not capable of safely operating motor vehicles (you know, the ones who have the go lane on the interstate at a crawl on Sunday afternoons because it's easier to judge the distance to the lane marker line on the driver's side of the car) are given a free pass and permitted to die behind the wheel if that is their wish.

And, if they crash into a tanker truck hauling 9,000 gal of gasoline and incinerate a busload of crippled special needs children then that's the price we all pay so that our politicians don't have to risk the wrath of The AARP. No elected official wants to address the issue of half blind seniors driving their car bombs, even those who repeatedly enter highway on ramps in the wrong direction or forget how to get home and change directions by crossing the grassy medians on interstate highways.
