TO JOANIE, PERHAPS YOU WILL SEE ONE DAY HOW HARD IT IS TO TAKE CARE OF A FADING PARENT. FOR YOUR CHILD TO TAKE THINGS LIKE YOUR DRIVING PRIVILEGES FROM YOU. TO TELL YOUR PARENTS YOU ARE REMOVING THEM FROM THEIR OWN HOME, WHERE THEY LIVED TOGETHER FOR 50 YEARS....WELL, YOU JUST HAVE TO GO THROUGH IT TO TRULY UNDERSTAND. STOP BEING A JERK THOUGH.

Glad he's OK, I do hope someone takes action so he can't get behind the wheel again.

I hope the elderly man is going to be ok. It is time for the family members to take the keys.
