Elderly relative is an unsafe driver. File a report with her state DMV?

My Dad at almost 93 still runs up and down between Cape Cod and the Boston area as he closes out a home there. We finally got him and my 92 year old Mother into a lovely tiered community in a lifecare unit with services for her. Well, they both are impossible and are going to give the place a year ... why because there are so many old folks. She has short-term memory, and he does not realize why nobody will ride with him any where. You would think he would be thankful to be in an area where he could still drive short distances for a while in daytime and then have their transportation services at his use. It is very hard to deal with the elderly, and I just hope we will not be like them. But in any case, you do need to take the upper hand in this case. You may want to do some research to see if there is para-senior bus transit in his area or the price of cabs for seniors. Also check to see if there is any group with volunteers who might provide free rides for medical appointments for seniors and any shopping services which would bring his food order to him. If he knows he won't be "stranded," and have access to services it may help.

I'm surprised her insurance continues to cover her after several accidents. Any chance of checking that she's actually covered?

Yes, we had to do this in California. My mother took care of it so I don't know whom she called, but she made sure they failed grandma on her next vision renewal. Even though she promised she wouldn't drive, my mom would catch her out and about as soon as my mom had left her house.

Do it. I was thinking about doing this for (to) my dad when he was pulled over by a cop for going to slow and required him to take a test. He couldn't pass no matter now many times he took it. It is all he wanted to complain about, but I told him that subject was closed and if he brought it up with me, I would leave.

We have an elderly neighbor and started to worry when we saw her driving in a dangerous manner. The family mus have noticed it too and got her a live-in caretaker who drives her around now.
