Is there a place for an elder to be tested for competent driving ability?

Need to find someone to evaluate my Dad's driving near Longmont. I think he's OK around town, but would like a second opinion. Looking for more than a standard DMV test.

An occupational therapist can do this. Here's a good place to start: https://www.aota.org/About-Occupational-Therapy/Professionals/PA/articles/Driving.aspx

This is from the Colorado DMV site. It's a medical and eye exam form. Look it over and see if it would be helpful. Your dad may be able to drive just fine but this checkup looks really thorough.

Call DMV. Call a driving school. Have his doc write a letter to DMV. AAA? AARP?
