If your husband stopped driving before the test, that would be a real blessing.
I finally saw how serious the situation was a few months back and then took action.
I did not want to interfere with his driving, but 2 near accidents convinced me.
The first near accident was when he didn’t see the other car turning into his lane and the other driver honked at us.
He admitted he did not see the other car! Very close call!
The second one was a week ago when he was backing up and did not see 3 teenagers walking right behind him. He admitted he did not see them! That’s when we finally went to our Neurologist to get help and stop him from driving. Doctor said I was the driver from now on and sent the order for the test. My husband knows he shouldn’t be driving and has so far accepted our doctor’s decision.
Prayers for your husband to stop driving.

Some good news. An advocate put me in touch with someone who assesses MCI/dementia patients for driving in the home. We have appointment this Thursday. I’ll keep you posted how it goes.
