I assume your husband drives erratically and is a danger to himself and others. I have gone to our neurologist for help and he tells my husband very firmly not to drive. It does seem to calm my husband down for awhile but then he gets anxious about the upcoming driving test and not being able to drive. He too has his driver’s license renewed and that is why he needs to take the driving rehabilitation program which is very thorough and the doctor said their decision about driving will be final. Have you thought about asking your doctor about this test?

He dies have an appt with courage kenny driving program on nov 8. His neurologist said he had to be retested every 6 mos.

My husband took this test after 3 at fault accidents (thankfully no one was hurt) and our sons riding with him telling me he is a dangerous driving. The test showed he was unable to drive. I sold his truck so we only have 1 vehicle. He hates me but I have told him I will leave him if he tries to drive. He is a danger to himself and others and our insurance will cancel us if he has another accident. I have told him I will no longer discuss it when he brings it up. Much like a child sometimes I have to be the bad cop to keep him safe.
