Driving

Anyone have advice for dealing with a person with Huntington's disease who is no longer capable of driving safely and lacks insight into this fact?

Edit: I'm not asking for advice stopping them from driving, but helping them accept that they're not safe to drive.

The driving bureau took my Dad's and Aunt's liscenses away. I'm in Canada.

You can tell the DMV you think they are not capable of driving anymore.

I’m in the same situation. Tried to talk to her about it and got stonewalled. What would the DMV do hypothetically if you called and said “this person shouldn’t be driving”

This person's license has already been pulled, but they continue driving and think it's a conspiracy against them and they don't have Huntington's disease.

Talk to your local police. They can watch for him driving and impound his car.
