Can families request that a persons driving privileges be revoked?
Family members cannot request that driving privileges be revoked but if they have concerns they should discuss these with the older driver’s primary care physician. This information is often extremely valuable to the physician as it may indicate an untreated or inadequately treated medical problem. By notifying the physician as early as possible, car crashes may be prevented. Remember that while a physician may only see an older driver for relatively short periods of time each year, the driver’s family may see them every day, may sit in the car with them when they drive and may notice symptoms that fluctuate and are only present from time to time. Such fluctuating symptoms can easily be missed if they are not present on the day that the driver sees the doctor. The driving related information available to families is often much more detailed than that available to physicians. Families can express their concerns to the physician but cannot ask for a license to be taken away. The physicia
