[quote=Anonymous]This is textbook for aging drivers. My dad had to give up his license due to early stage dementia. The doctors explained that it wasn't so much a question of his mental competence - he was nowhere near forgetting where he was, especially since he was only driving in hometown. But driving requires a ton of multitasking that is typically intuitive - you turn your head as you merge, you instinctively hit the brakes as you hear a horn. And as you age, a lot of that multitasking is harder, sometimes for physical reasons (you can't turn or hear as easily) and sometimes for mental reasons. And sometimes both. Get your MIL off the road, not just for your DD but for all of us. [/quote]
