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."

denied freedom of movement in his car.

That is how it will be seen. It probably is always seen that way. "Let's put everyone in danger so I can have my freedom (to go to the bar every day).

It looks like doctors and insurers might be the best option. He won't listen to anyone else. I will probably be out of luck with the DMV.

I remember one accident scene. Traffic was backed up with rubberneckers as usual. A young cop was on his knees throwing up, another one was standing with him. If people saw what that young cop saw, this would not be a problem. Give each kid a puke bucket in drivers ed, and show a movie of what happens in real life when you fuck up. What a scene that would be. Traumatic, yes, but it might keep them alive.

This is one thing I don't miss in being on the road. You just know what is under those tarps.

Thanks all. I'll see what happens.

And Then There Were Four

Produced: 1940s

Length: 25 Minutes

This film is from the safe driving genre (some fun educational videos), but it has many extras in it that make it a cut above average. Famous actor Jimmy Stewart narrates, introducing four unrelated people who are going to be filmed for one day. Stewart informs the audience that by the end one of them will die in a car accident. They each drive different cars or have different car safety features, any of which could lead to bad car accidents: one drives a hotrod, one has faulty brakes. The suspense is heightened effectively by knowing ahead of time that only one group will die, and guessing at which one. A fine example of 1940s melodrama, And Then There Were Four explores safe driving topics as well as the risk factors of driving. Of the many Jimmy Stewart narrations, this film about unsafe car dangers is highly entertaining.

Puppy says:

A buddy of mine stopped on the Long Beach Expressway (if memory serves) to assist a motorcyclist who had left his genitalia on the handlebars after a high speed collision. My buddy reached up inside and pinched off the femoral artery until EMTs arrived, and the Los Angeles County Paramedic said, "Give it up brother, he's gone."

A few years back a 50 something retarded man who walked all over our nearby small town here and was known by everyone (and who kept insisting that I should run for mayor to the point of serious annoyance) was killed while crossing a busy highway at around 6PM in the dark. I was told that the poor man's brains were picked up separately from the rest of his remains.

In both of these cases gagging and/or ralphing would be immediate and certainly leave lifelong memories (if not brain trauma) if they were filmed and shown to kids with no practical knowledge of the laws of physics.

It's a shame but too many young drivers (up to about 25-the insurance actuaries have it pretty well nailed) just don't understand how fast driving too often results in decapitated friends and cars either accordianed or wrapped around a hundred yr old tree that's seen more bloody brains than the average 3rd year resident ER physician.
