My father was still driving at 92 but it was becoming apparent he was no longer able to navigate unfamiliar neighborhoods. My suggestions to call me for transportation were not well received! When I accompanied him to a doctor’s appointment with his geriatric specialist, I called ahead to alert the physician of my concerns regarding dad’s driving. During the appointment, the physician asked some leading questions of dad regarding his driving experiences of late and clearly stated to dad that he should no longer drive. The geriatric specialist said furthermore, as his physician, he had an obligation to report dad to the licensing bureau if he did continue to drive. That was the end of his driving days, thankfully.
