If he still has a valid drivers license, research the DMV website for your state, to locate procedures/form for reporting an elderly (impaired, unsafe) driver.
I am in Texas, and it required a letter from Dad's doctor, in addition to a signed statement by me, describing the reasons the person should not drive. Once they had this info, they sent him a letter in which he had to report to the local DMV for eye, written, and behind the wheel tests. The whole process took about 6 weeks, even with me expediting all steps immediately. But it was worth it, as the DMV is the bad guy, along with the dr, and you can remain anonymous (unless dad contests, and it goes to court).
Hopefully, you will not have to go this far, but good luck.
Can you try the same lovingly sneaky trick with your mother? It worked for us.
Good luck Doris and big hugs from one who's been there too.
Good luck. This is a hard stage for the elderly. Hugs for all involved.
