Right, it’s another inlaws thread I’m afraid...
So, I recently posted how FIL is having memory issues and he refuses to give up his driving licence or see a GP for help,
More recently, MIL is at the table and mentions that FIL received a letter from the DVLA about a fitness to drive assessment, she claims it is a mistake and that she has told him not to fill in the form or return it,
When pressed about why she told him that, she admitted that she doesn’t want her independence to come to an end!!
So, AIBU to contact the DVLA again to mention that they’ve just discarded the form and my concerns about his driving ability are quite serious? I’ve attempted to touch base with the GP, but I’ve been told that they can’t act unless the inlaws approach them with the problem
I get that the inlaws rely on their car, but I would never see them allowed to carry on driving only to kill or severely injure someone because their independence comes above everything else (in their heads at least!)
Is there anything else I can do to ensure that prompt action is taken before someone gets hurt?

To have forced the matter?
