I'm going to have my husband evaluated by the Dept. of Motor Vehicles by way of an instructor going out on the road to actually see his driving abilities (like they do with teenagers). His doctor has never seen him drive and my eyes are closed most of the time I'm with him when he's driving (I've been complaining about his driving for as long as I've known him, so I can't be objective. Of course, he doesn't think his driving is getting dangerous and he flatly refuses to believe that he needs to quit driving.
This is when I'm glad my mom was all, "Sell the car kids, I'm done," when the eye doctor said it wouldn't be a good idea for her to drive anymore. Of course that makes us chauffeur on occasion, but thankfully I've worked it out with her caregivers to tote her around when she needs to. And every once in a while we take a quick trip here and there.
When I hear things like this, as I commented before, I think of the George Weller incident. Google it if you aren't familiar. 86 year old man turning the wrong way, going 60 mph through a Farmer's Market. All he could say when he got out was, "Why didn't you get out of my way."
Thank you for getting him evaluated. He and you deserve the dignity, and above everything else, the safety.
You can have his DL pulled as an unsafe driver. He will have the option of appealing the suspension, but he has to do a driving test to prove his driving is acceptable.
I would think if the instructor feels DH should not be driving, he will take the licence right there and then. It may be up to you to take the keys and put them in a safe place.
I hope he listens and takes the test.
