Taken your parents keys because they were not safe to drive anymore?
Would you?
How far you go in life depends on your being: tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of both the weak and strong. Because someday in life you would have been one or all of these. GeorgeWashingtonCarver
No I did have not and my mother passed away so I do not have to worry about it..
I haven't spoken to my mother in over 2 years, and I don't know who my dad is. I is an orphan. lol
I won't fight my parents on this issue. Not worth the grief my mother will return.
Not me, personally, but my brother had to take our Dad's car keys away from him years ago when he showed signs of Alzheimers. They were living in Arizona ( I was living in MN) and my Dad drove from Mesa to Flagstaff, not knowing why, ran out of gas and a policeman found him. The cop called my brother . After that, my brother drove him where he needed to go.
We've considered it. My FIL/MIL are TERRIBLE drivers They once complained to us that the cops were mad at them because they were stopped on the side of the road, but the cops made them move. They were actually sitting in the right hand lane - that people DRIVE in - no shoulder. And, that's not even the worst. We no longer allow them to drive with any of the kids in the car - even the older boys (in their 20's). And, they think they drive fine. Sheesh....
My husband wants the DL office to implement a nurf ball test - if the person cannot catch the nurf ball when thrown at them, they dont' get to drive. Easy enough and no one gets hurt (even the older person who couldn't catch the ball)
Have never been in that position with my own parents, they're both deceased.
In-laws are still very much 'with it'...so I don't see that happening....they're mid 70's. The youngest son lives right next door, so he would notice things first.
Our Grandma gave up her keys when she turned 95. She died at 98.
No my parents never drank.
And yes I would if it ever came about.
As long as they tell me before they throw it I am down with that lol. Those eyetests are getting tough.
