Default Re: Doctors and Very Old Drivers

My (late) Dad drove until age 96. Never had an accident or speeding fine in all that time. He did however start to misjudge things in his last 6 months & put a few scrapes on the car... We had a quiet word with his GP when it was time for his annual Drivers/Medical Cert time & the doctor told him it was time to give up driving. Dad was upset - but understood that it was getting a bit beyond him.
I then took him shopping once a week, Bank, Doctor, chemist etc & continue to do so for his widow. Luckily I'm self employed - but it does chew up a full day once a week & not everyone would be able, or willing, to do this.
