[quote=Anonymous]My dad is not allowed to drive my kids either for the same reasons.  However, I don't expect him to babysit my kids.  I don't think you are going to successfully navigate this one without your moms buy-in.  Its not her job to be your spokes person.

Given that you think he will comply once you tell him, you owe it to him to have an adult conversation and just tell him.  Calmly (without anger or accusations) that you need your children to be safe and your dads aggressive driving and lack of attention (provide examples) put them in harms way.  Do not bring your sister into the conversation.  Explain your new family rules (mom drives but dad doesn't) and any solution you would accept (dad takes calm driving lessons?).  Be PREPARED to accept the consequences.  You may have to face the fact that your parents cannot be your babysitter.

Also, why do you let him drive you???  What if he got in an accident with you in the car and left your kids without a mom.  Sheesh...stand up for yourself already.[/quote]
