To report someone?

[sunshineshowerss]

Someone I used to be friends with is driving when I don't think they should be.
They have glaucoma in both eyes.
They've had numerous operations and they've lost side vision in both eyes.
She told me if the DVLA knew they wouldn't let her drive.
Aibu to report her? She's got 3 young kids and I think it's a disaster waiting to happen.
What would you do ?

You can report online. I reported my exh.

Would it make me a bitter person if I was to do it ?

Yes definitely report her, she may lose her license but her children or a stranger walking past/driving may lose their life.

yes 100% report this.

No it wouldn't make you a bitter person.
It would make you a person who is trying to avoid her killing herself, her kids or a third party.

If they had an accident and killed all three kids or hit another car and killed those occupants, how would you feel then? Don't worry about feeling bitter, do the right thing.

Yes report. It’s not bitter to worry that somebody is a danger to themselves and others on the road. If they hit someone and you’d done nothing how would you feel then?

Better to report her/speak to her, than hear she's had an accident/hurt/killed someone....

I'm worried she will know it's me and all hell will break loose.
Your right tho,I don't think she's safe on the roads.
I'm assuming her vision is only going to get worse.

In this instance I would. She could kill herself or someone else.

I’d report - if all hell breaks loose so be it, she could kill someone.

Yes you must report her for her safety, her children and other road users. There is no excuse for people behaving like this. Bitterness doesn’t come into it and if she finds out somehow and you lose the friendship so be it.

Yes 100% report her. Imagine if she has an accident and kills someone and you knew she shouldn't be driving. Imagine the guilt you'd feel knowing you could have prevented it. If she falls out with you if she knows it's you, she's not a very good person anyway

Sorry I didn't make it clear we aren't friends anymore.
We fell out a few months ago.
I heard through mutual friend about her extra vision loss in her left eye now (as well as right )
She told me months ago she shouldn't be driving and now it's even worse.

Well if you aren't friends, what's stopping you? Just do it :-)

it's YOUR kids or loved ones that could be in the car she crashes into. So strangers or family, how responsible would you feel?

These rules are not malicious, but there for a reason! I would be less dangerous if I was drinking, would you let me do it?

Her optician should have asked if she drove. They always asked me that. In this woman's case surely they would have asked her and she must have said she didn't drive. If her eyesight is that bad the optician would have told her no driving. 100% certain they would tell her and tell her again in case she didn't understand. Is she claiming benefits for poor eyesight if she is she can't take the money and drive as it will be in writing that her eyesight is extremely poor. Report her. I reported a pensioner that drove the wrong way round a roundabout and sat in the right hand lane at a junction then turned left. I just phoned 999. No idea what happened though as I saw her out driving afterwards but she was a menace. If you report her to the DVLA I'm sure there are plenty of people that know her eyesight is bad and it's not as if she is setting you up as she told you ages ago that she shouldnt be driving. How does she appear normally when you were friends, how was she even walking about without peripheral vision? Report her to the dvla anonymously. She is being completely irresponsible and doesn't give a monkeys about either pedestrians or other road users or indeed her children. A 90 year old woman mounted the pavement in Edinburgh recently and pinned a toddler to a shopfront. He died at the scene, she should have been reported by someone but wasn't.

Don't tell anyone you reported her, no one whatsoever as it will get back. But report her anyway. I'm sure there's a queue of people who could have reported her and who is to say you would even be the first?

@doodleZ1 she would trip over things.
You had to stand next to her and let her know you were there.
You had to lead her in places cos she couldn't see a thing.
When she first started driving it was only in 1 eye and now it's gone in the 2.

She also is car insurance fronting.
Claiming it's her mums car and she's just an occasional driver.
She's shady as

This is from the DVLAs website:

If glaucoma is diagnosed in one eye and the other eye has normal vision, it is not necessary to inform the DVLA. Anyone suffering from glaucoma (with visual field defects) in both eyes should, inform the DVLA (Drivers Medical Branch, Swansea, SA99 1TU).

Report her, then forget about it totally and don't tell anyone. Then you have done your civic duty and if she does kill someone you did all you could. Not telling on her then she kills someone would be hard to live with. Look after you.

Have you reported her OP?
