Persuading someone to stop driving (due to declining ability
Discussion
I can't be the only one to have an ageing relative (or friend) whose driving ability is in long term decline. Yet, as the law stands, every 3 years after 70 the licence can be renewed if there are no medical conditions or if existing medical conditions have not worsened.
By declining ability, I would cite scuff marks on both sides of the front bumper due to misjudged parking; clipping a mirror of a parked car; missing a well-marked motorway junctions; and taking the wrong exit from a roundabout onto a motorway; and driving onto my neighbour's drive without realising that it had been dug up - all in the last year. I'm not qualified to assess driving ability but to me these are clear signs of increasing risk. How do you persuade somebody to 'quit while they're ahead'?
