Default Re: Driving beyond your capability!

When it came time for my dad to stop driving, he wouldn't hear of it. Because of numerous medical conditions, and medications, along with his age, we spoke with his doctor, whom he trusted implicitly.
The physician had dealt with this many times before, and had a talk with Dad. He informed him, after a routine exam, that he felt it was time Dad stop driving, and that he would feel personally and professionally responsible if anything happened. He never let on that we had spoken with him about this.
Dad listened to him, though reluctantly. Perhaps this would help in your situation.
