[quote=Anonymous]Punt to her doctor, that's what I did. At least this worked 10 years ago, when I spoke to mom's doctor who said he'd refer her to some special department the DC MVA has (hopefully not "had") specifically for testing people with mobility and other issues. Apart from the dementia there are other physical issues, like can she turn her head around far and fast enough to see what's behind her. Mom's doctor was willing to be the fall guy. If not that, AARP used to have a resource, and maybe still does, where you figure out which of 10 reasons your parent wants to keep driving (ability to get around? the prestige of owning a car? etc) and then you solve the problem for them (Uber app, my inlaws took their dad's keys but let him keep the Benz so he could go for fantasy rides in his garage).
