About the driving...

Posted by kelly (aka kelly) Mar 31 '10, 10:45

There is a number you can call in this state if you feel that someone is driving that should not be (you have concerns about their health, etc.) - the MVA turns the information over to the Medical Advisory Board and they determine whether that person is fit to drive.

I have been *VERY* tempted to call that number, but have not. Seeing as how everything her son says that's less-than-flattering gets blamed on me (after all, Will didn't have a voice for himself or a differing opinion on everything until *I* moved in, heh) - I don't want to cause more problems for the family. Calling that number would DEFINITELY make things more difficult. I really think she belongs off the road, though. She can't walk across her kitchen without stumbling, her reaction time is horrible, and she has some trouble moving the left side of her body - how on earth is she driving safely? *worried*

Responses:

Call. She could kill people. Easier to deal with things getting tougher than guilt over an innocent dying. -- nm - TWuG Mar 31, 10:48 6

  - it sounds like talking to a family law attorney for an hour would be helpful to you guys all around - mr. average Mar 31, 10:57 4
    - Here's a question: - kelly Mar 31, 11:05 3

      - the short answer is that if a guardianship petition is filed, the court would appoint a doctor to evaluate her - mr. average Mar 31, 11:31
      - Getting guardianship might be hard. Getting her license suspended might be easier - oblique Mar 31, 11:25
