If you take the keys away.... they lose their freedom .

So how do you convince them to understand that they could seriously hurt or kill someone on the next accident? How do you convince them that their driving days are over?
I was not able to stop my father at 88 to stop driving as he enjoyed his freedom also...His long time friend and Doctor put it to him straight and it worked..He was not happy and unfortunately passed away a year later....My Mom had dementia at the time which did not help as she could not let him know how dangerous it was for him to drive...One never knows I suppose for sure, as his younger brother who is now 92 still drives with apparently no issues except for old age...Good luck
