In this video, Dr Liz discusses dementia and driving and how to stop someone with dementia from driving?

1. Have your Dr write a letter to the DMV and list the relevant medical reasons.
2. If your loved one only needs to sign to have their driving licence renewed, make sure you tell the DMV that they need a test drive before they can get their drivers license back.

While you're trying to get everything else sorted out with the DMV, pull the spark plugs in the car, or disable one of the keys and give it to them, and they can't start the car. Another option, say the car has to go to the shop and have it go to someone else's house, and it just doesn't come back.

It is important that if someone's driving skills are in question, more so if they have dementia, don't delay, do something about it, you may just end up saving a life.

If this is the first time you watch my videos, I am Dr Liz and I am a board-certified geriatric specialist. Over the years I have worked with thousands of families from all over the country to help elders through the aging process. Families are typically in crisis and don’t know where to turn when loved ones have dementia, Alzheimer’s, medication problems, or any complications from aging. I feel we must take away medications that “zombify” our elders and adjust meds to get our loved ones back to the happy, productive people they once were. Do you have questions or concerns? Don’t panic. Dr Liz Geriatrics is your resource for everything and anything you need to know about aging. I am so glad you stopped by and remember we are here to help.
