[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP and I’ll keep posting this re: driving. In Virginia (please research your parents’ state of residence) anyone can “anonymously” file a request for medical fitness to drive (something like that). The reporter (neighbor, relative, etc.) outlines concerns and sends form to DMV. Then a DMV employee calls and collects more info and a medical review packet will be mailed to driver. Driver had 30 days to respond (it’s a lot-a doctor has to review, provide opinion on next steps, can suggest a vision and/or written and/or road test) and in the meantime drivers license will appear with note that “under review” (not allowed to drive during review). If nothing is done (as is case w/ my parent), DL is suspended.[/quote]

This sounds good when driving is an issue, but also kind of sounds like something that could be weaponized.  If I just don't like my neighbor for some other reason (dog barks, doesn't maintain their lawn, etc.) couldn't I just call up and make a huge hassle for them to keep their drivers license?[/quote]

PP quoted and with your signature you are certifying that all is correct and you aren’t doing this under fraudulent circumstances, etc. Additionally, I received a follow up call from a DMV case manager and we went over each point and I even had some updates. The call was recorded (for quality assurance purposes - ha!) and before I hung up, I was advised that the case was now “closed” to me and that only the driver may call and ask questions.

Oddly, my parent hasn’t mentioned one word to anyone about her DMV status and her license will be suspended soon if it hasn’t already.
