OP - I wonder how you can really leave your kids with your parents unless you can trust 100% that your Dad will not drive your kids once the request is made.  Our oldest grandchildren are six year old twin girls who do not behave well with their parents in their own car driving, and I am not comfortable yet taking the two of them out in the car on my own where we live.  In this case it is due to their behavior, and I can tell you if they were my kids they would have learned to follow the rules a long time ago, but they are not.
Thus, my husband usually drives them when we are out, though one alone will probably be fine this summer.  What I would say then is to squarely tell your Dad that you have reservations about his driving AND that couple with that view and how your young children might just be distracting to him, you do not want him to drive.  Tell him - if it is true - that your Mother is just a lot more used to being around the kids and does better with them when and if they must be drive some place.[/quote]
