Again the answer is “call the police”. Unless the police witness something , they can do nothing. They dont randomly check peoples driving skills. Thats why there is a DMV which is responsible for checking capabilities of drivers before issuing a driver license. They are a flawed govt agency with no help in sight. They give licenses to everyone.
Example: A friends dad, age 88, was due to renew his license and needed to pass a eye test. He knew he couldnt pass it and also had hearing issues so he figured his license wouldnt get renewed. Just on a hunch, he renewed it on line, it was accepted and he got a license for another 7 years. Scarey!!
