[quote=Anonymous]I hope her doctor is notifying the motor vehicle administration. Having a stroke is one of the conditions where medical professionals are supposed to notify the MVA. Here is the info for Maryland:

Referrals from professionals – particularly law enforcement officials and health care providers – should be reported directly to MVA if there are concerns about medical fitness to drive. Health care professionals may report to MVA by simply providing a statement on their letterhead identifying concerns with their patient’s ability to drive safely. Healthcare providers may also report with an easy-to-use form for Referral to the Maryland MVA. Either the letter or form should be sent to the MVA at contact information.

In addition, the MVA accepts referrals from concerned private citizens – neighbors, friends, and family - of drivers with potential problems regarding their ability to drive. A letter of concern should be mailed to the MVA contact information. The letter of concern should include as much of the basic information as possible. If the concerned citizen wishes to remain anonymous, they should indicate that wish in their communication to the MVA.

Letters of concern are first investigated for authentication of information. If the concern is validated, the referred driver is requested to submit a medical report and health questionnaire for further review.
If you have specific concerns about a loved one, it is recommended that you discuss this with their physician or treatment provider. The physician can then contact the MVA directly with the necessary information. This will expedite the review process.[/quote]
