[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is tragic and horrible. Why would it be funny?[/quote]

95 year old MIL thought it was the big bamboozle to go into the DMV, fail the vision test 3 times, and have the clerk grant her her driver's license, anyway. Legally blind and driving. Wonderful. [/quote]

Why you know she is going to hurt someone you must take away the keys every adult child is responsible for taking the keys from a relative who is unable to drive[/quote]

How do you propose the adult child do that from someone who refuses?  Physically assaulting someone until they are unable to resist and then stealing their possessions is a crime.[/quote]

You follow the appropriate process in your state. In Maryland, you submit a letter to the MVA (it can be anonymous) and report your concerns and ask them to evaluate the driver. The person’s physician can also contact the MVA.[/quote]

This is good to know, thank you. [/quote]

I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but here is the link to the Maryland MVA page that explains how to anonymously submit a letter of concern about someone's driving. I think most states have something similar:

https://mva.maryland.gov/safety/Pages/older/mva-medical-advisory-board.aspx
"In addition, the MVA accepts referrals from concerned private citizens – neighbors, friends, and family - of drivers with potential problems regarding their ability to drive. A letter of concern should be submitted via email or fax to the MVA contact information. The letter of concern should include as much of the basic information as possible. If the concerned citizen wishes to remain anonymous, they should indicate that wish in their communication to the MVA."[/quote]

That's great but accepting a referral does not guarantee the license will be taken away.   Many of these drivers are able to "put on their best performance" when necessary for a test or evaluation, but in regularly daily driving will get complacent.[/quote]
