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."

That's an excellent idea!

I'm ambivalent about it of course. I understand why so many oldsters need to drive, but my shooting buddy was broadsided by an old gent coming out of a gas station recently and the old guy just gunned the motor and headed for hills. My buddy didn't even try to catch him because he didn't want the desperate old man to kill someone else while trying to escape.

The H&R driver clearly signaled that one more accident would be it for him, and if he didn't have the presence of mind to know better than to blindly speed across a busy intersection, then he's definitely a danger to himself and others.

And just a few days ago a woman in a wheelchair living in a slum motel was killed and three vehicles hit her in the road and none of them stopped. She lost her leg 25 years ago to another hit & run driver.

Her 40-something son who lived with her was devastated to see the remains of her wheelchair up on the side of the busy highway, and the news media interviewed the poor man as he wept pitifully.

In this cold, cruel part of the world they were all each other had, and now he's alone.
