I was living 80 miles away. I visited one day and and she drove my wife and me just a few miles, down to the beach. No real danger, but it was obvious she shouldn't be driving. As kindly as I could, I pointed out to her that she was really an accident waiting to happen. Not long later she decided I was right (there's a first time for everything!) and gave up her keys. Dad drove her everywhere. I'm sure we avoided a lot of pain for her ...or someone else.
For some people there does come a time when it's best to give up the left seat. Hard to do if they don't have a good support system. But not sure the best way to do it. I have some senior citizen friends (71-85 YO) and I'll try to ask them and report back.
