He drove home behind her and when she got out of he car he jumped out and ranted at her that she was 'all over the road' and 'shouldn't be allowed to drive'. Mum was terrified because he sounded pretty aggressive and she couldn't understand what she'd done to upset him.
Thing is, I have a horrible feeling he was right about her driving. Mum's 78 and stil drives all over the place with a fairly busy social life. But I've noticed she waves around across her lane and there have been a lot couple of incidents of going through red lights. Frankly I don't think she's safe but she's 'fit as a fiddle with all her faculties' according to her
I've looked through other threads about stopping unsafe oldies driving, but they all relate to stopping driving through memory loss or illness. What if on paper somebody is fine. But they're just not as good at it as they need to be?
Oh, help.
