[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FIL, 98, still drives, but he tells us only in the daytime so not to worry.  I have repeatedly suggested to DH that he and siblings talk to dad about not driving (and we do not allow our children in the car if he is driving, nor will we get in the car with him).  Spouse and siblings say, "if the state of FL allows him to drive, who are we to interfere."[/quote]

This is crazy. 98?!?!
It’s also crazy to me how many people I hear of who don’t let their kids drive with their elderly parents but also don’t think it’s a problem for those elderly parents to be on the road. [/quote]

I think it is a huge problem, but it's not my dad and I cannot convince my spouse or his siblings to do anything about it.  My parents stopped driving in their 80s - handed us the car keys and said they were done (and luve in a place that drives them to appointments and they use Uber).  That all being said, FIL has yet to be in or cause any accidents.  And I still think he should not be driving![/quote]
