[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so incredibly sad.  They found the elderly man in his submerged car in Lorton.  My heart is breaking for this family:

I'm so glad that he didn't kill someone. The family is irresponsible for letting him drive. We took my dad's car when he turned 75 because of eyesight issues, his memory was perfect but he was a risk on the roads. [/quote]

Do you know the story? Friends of ours actually reported their father to the DMV and APS because he refused to stop driving. They suspended his license until he took a test and he PASSED somehow. He continued reckless driving until he got in an accident.

We have doctors monitoring my MIL's skills needed for driving (reflexes, etc) and the geriatric nurse who checks on her does the same. They cannot force her to take a driving test unless they see something concerning. She has already threatened us to scare us away from taking keys or disabling her car and she has the means, the obsessiveness and the rage to follow through with hiring a lawyer. The neighbors know if they have any concerns to report her to the department of motor vehicles.

The DMV needs to require road tests starting at a certain age.[/quote]
