[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In NZ you have to have a road test/medical certificate at 75 & 80 then every two years after that. The fear of the road test forces the issue for many seniors.[/quote] This is what we did with my mother in law. Her neurologist said that she needed to take a driving test. (I think he was required to report her cognitive issues?) The fear of the test meant she agreed reluctantly to stop driving. Sister in law made an excuse to move the car and eventually to donate it to a family in need (with MILs permission). A couple of weeks later she went looking for her car, trying to open random car doors but she has now accepted it. It helped that the doctor was the bad guy not family.[/quote]
