When someone you know should give up the keys

What do you do about an older family member who is no longer safely driving? This is a problem for a growing number of families.

The driver may have a physical or medical condition such as poor vision, restricted movement or dementia. Or the driver may have had a recent illness or hospitalization.

Any of these situations can put a driver and the public at risk. Sometimes the signs are readily apparent, but usually the signs are gradual and take place over a period of time.
