She lost her license a few months ago because she hit a car in a restaurant parking lot & didn’t realize it. Customers called the police & they came by the house. I wasn’t there (she lives with me). I’ve discussed her eyesight, the size of her vehicle (large SUV), what would happen physically, medically, & financially if she hurt/killed someone - to no avail. She simply says, “I’m gonna do what I want.” Miraculously, she was able to pass her tests & got her license back, but she hits things (boxes, tables, etc) in the garage all the time. The entire family thinks she should stop driving, but no one is willing to give an ultimatum. Please help. What do I do? I don’t have POA.
After we achieved success in admitting said parent to a facility, I did a voluntary repo of the car since I'm the financial POA. That said, there's really nothing you can do, I'm sorry to say. It truly does come down to her having something unfortunate happen in order for her to stop driving. You can always take her car keys anonymously (which was my next move but didn't have to) and that would really buy out time.
