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.

Cops usually are very reluctant to yank a driver's license from a senior. On the one hand your dad has his rights, but unless somebody intervenes he'll keep doing it until he has a wreck and then the cops will get involved. That's usually how this plays out. Your only option is to try and convince him to quit driving (good luck with that), or get the advice of your state highway patrol on how to end his driving days before somebody gets hurt.

I thought too of the DMV and cops. It might have to be one or the other, I suppose. But I'm betting that neither will be of much help, until after the fact.

I'll give you an example of what he is like. He fell and broke a hip last year. He then thought he would 1) shovel snow and 2) cut grass. Massive fail both times, but that doesn't stop him. It's like he is not right in the head, a lot of the times. He thinks he can do things but sits on the couch all day, or he starts things that he can't do. With him, it's all or nothing.

I know other people have had to deal with this at one time or another. This is a first for me and I don't want to screw it up. All ideas are welcome and appreciated.
