[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An elderly relative is an unsafe driver and has been in several accidents.   I'm terrified that she is going to kill someone - or herself -  in her next accident.  I've talked with her about our concern that she stop driving, but she is very resistant and I'm pretty sure she will continue to drive.    I'm thinking about reporting her to the DMV for her state (Massachusetts) so that she is required to take another road test or something like that.  I suspect she'd fail any road test and lose her license.  She has enough money to rely on car services for the rest of her life.

[b]I'm also worried that losing her license/ability to drive this will send her into a depression,[/b] with which she has struggled her whole life.  But I fear the need to protect her and other people is paramount, at this point.

Has anyone ever done this for an elderly relative?  [/quote]
