It was so awful telling my husband he couldn't drive anymore. He didn't react when he nearly killed us and the other driver. It turned into a screaming/crying argument, one-sided since he shows little emotion anymore. He didn't want to give up the car keys, or his driving privilege, but I told him his brain was not giving him correct information anymore, which puts us and others in danger. I did manage to get him to voluntarily give up his driver's license at the DMV.
It was all just traumatizing for me.
Hope it goes better for you!

We have always driven our own vehicles and plan to give his car to our son. Although accepting that his medical condition and driving put us both at financial risk, he forgets that he agreed not to drive. He has been a safe driver but others on the road aren't.
