We are concerned about parents getting lost while driving. They don't drive anywhere long distance. Any idea of a tracking device?

Garden, here's stats I found from the CDC about older adult drivers: "In 2012, more than 5,560 older adults were killed and more than 214,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes. This amounts to 15 older adults killed and 586 injured in crashes on average every day. There were almost 36 million licensed older drivers in 2012, which is a 34 percent increase from 1999. Per mile traveled, fatal crash rates increase noticeably starting at ages 70‒74 and are highest among drivers age 85 and older. This is largely due to increased susceptibility to injury and medical complications among older drivers rather than an increased tendency to get into crashes. Age-related declines in vision and cognitive functioning (ability to reason and remember), as well as physical changes, may affect some older adults' driving abilities. Across all age groups, males had substantially higher death rates than females." And according to Consumer Reports: "Drivers 80 and older are involved in 5.5 times as many fatal crashes per mile driven as middle-aged drivers." Back in February of 2014 Witsend2 asked "Parents have had increasing dementia for past 15 years (mom) and past year (dad). They both drive. Are we liable?" Although some posters responded 'yes' even when the answer is 'no' people sue first and ask questions later. And the whole process costs lots of money and time. The way we handled driving with my inlaws was explaining the legal system to them - the long, drawn out, expensive, time consuming legal process - so they understood what would happen if they hit a person while driving: all their medical records would be laid bare to the court, their car insurance premiums would skyrocket, etc.

NYDIL, very helpful and interesting research.
