'Sokay with me if the two threads are linked, but I was hoping for a more wide-ranging discussion about getting people to stop driving when their mental faculties have become compromised due to dementia -- is there any legislation or pending legislation, have you experienced this in your own family, etc.
BTW I have experienced this in my own family, with my own father. The Cliff's Notes version of the story is that we adult-children saw the symptoms but felt powerless to do anything to stop him -- then he bought a new car, rear-ended someone 16 DAYS later (hit the accelerator thinking it was the brake), suffered injuries that prevented him from ever driving again, but swore to the day he died (some 3 years later) that he would drive again. I now own the car he refused to sell -- it's almost 9 years old with less than 50,000 miles on it, because it sat unused for so long.
