Dad won't let go of driving

I wrote this some time ago but I will suggest it again in case it helps you.
I told my husband that if he gets in a car accident, his fault or not, we will not be able to afford the outcome if they find out he was driving while knowing he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I brought it up at an appointment with his neurologist and his neurologist was very firm on not driving (and said in our state there is a law in place for not driving with this diagnosis).

Call your insurance company and ask them if they will cover him driving knowing that he has an Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

Hi blue2, thank you for the suggestion.
I am planning on explaining the consequences of my dad driving... in a very easy illustration format. Hopefully he understands.
