[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am shocked and appalled that anyone would think that their elderly parents driving (NOT a right, but a privilege, at that) takes any sort of precedent over innocent people living; and avoiding the wrath of a car driven by someone who shouldn't even be driving jumping a curb and ending it right there.  [/quote]

I don't see anyone here thinking that.   But adult "kids" don't have the legal authority to "take away the keys" as some here suggest.   Like it or not--theft is a crime!   If I literally strong arm my parent and STEAL his keys, I can go to prison for many years!   Same with tampering with a car to disable it--also a crime!   
Then all we have is a normally law abiding adult in prison, minor children in the foster care system (because their parent is now locked up) and the elderly person still out and about driving.[/quote] Oh stop. No one is going to jail for taking their demented parents keys away. Seriously. Most people don't go to jail for taking a car nefariously. It's just not that high a priority crime. If your parent shouldn't be driving, then do whatever you need to do to keep them from doing it, even if it means hiding the keys or disabling the battery.[/quote]

You're assuming the demented parents just leave the keys out where the adult child can take them.   If the demented parent won't give them up and the adult child has to literally beat the parent unconscious to get ahold of them, I guarantee you the adult child will face charges.[/quote]

Maybe the adult child should face charges for allowing their impaired parent to drive. [/quote]
