I think so mate.

One minute in the car with my late father in law from 80 onwards was enough to let you know he had dementia.

To get to the local shops half a mile away, a journey he’d made for nearly 30 years, mother in law had to sit be him and tell him to make the two right turnings required, she also had to flick the indicator up and down for him!😳

He also had macular degeneration in one eye, he was blind.

Mother in law was as bad as him in supporting him, they both said he “had a right to drive” for as long as he wanted to……it caused us a lot of argument and aggro with them over it.

My wife and her sister twice visited his GP to get him to him stopped from driving, he wouldn’t do anything!

It’s incredibly hard to get an old unfit person stopped from driving in the U.K.
