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.

I have a 96 year old aunt like that. She's blind in one eye and the other ain't right, neither is her brain. I've talked with her daughters, but she still rules. A family confrontation... maybe. It's hard, if you sabotage he can call a mechanic.

Twice in private practice, I had older patients I knew were driving and dangerous. I warned the family that if they did not stop the driving I would. After two warning letters, I sent a letter to the Indiana State Bureau of Motor Vehicles and their liscenses were pulled within 48 hours. A very fast response. I know physicians in my state can report dangerous drivers, it would not hurt to check the proceedure, maybe family can too.

Neal, my hubby, was hard to handle. For a while after his brain biopsy, he did not even try to drive. Then steroids started to shrink his brain swelling and he felt good again. For four days, he felt good enough to drive and he escaped me one day and went all over town having adventures and not answering his cell phone. I got his best friend to talk him back home. His last attempt to drive a car was tragic and I got the keys away for good. I tried to hide the keys earlier, but he would tear the house apart to find them.
