My husband wants to be evaluated to prove he can still drive! What if he passes? There will be more confrontation. I can’t let him drive any longer. Dr said he would order if we wanted it. I hate to say no to my DH. He thinks it’s going to prove he can drive. Any thoughts on this ?
Doctor's can request a enhanced road test and some medical conditions will require one, but they are not automatic.
My 98 year old cousin still drives, gets speeding tickets and tells off the police officer!
Guess how she got her license? She passed the eye test!
She is active. She goes to exercise classes weekly. She does her own housework, cooking and shopping.
She cleans her neighbors apartments in her independent living facility. She cooks and invites them to eat over.
She’s a spitfire!
Took a while, with COVID creating staffing issues, but finally suspended Feb 26 👌 She’s still trying to find a doc who will “help her” to get back to driving.
I'll bet the folks evaluating him see this kind of thing all the time. If someone is asking to be evaluated to prove they're capable of driving, then that's a pretty big red flag that they aren't.
