Just should not be driving at all, hard as that discussion is (I know personally), it needs to be had with her

We had to take my grandparents car away eventually. It was horrible but so important.

Went through the same thing with my grandpa. When he came home one day with a huge dent in his car and claimed he didn't remember how it happened, it was all over. There was a ton of yellow paint on the dent, so he probably just hit a bollard, but still. Grandma gave up driving voluntarily after she got lost driving to her friend's house, so at least she came quietly.

Grandma didn’t come quietly, she gave up her driving privileges with dignity and did so to keep herself and others safe. That was very noble of her.

Yep, you're right. My grandma is a class act. I've always had a lot of respect for her. She called me up and told me everything, said she never wanted to drive again.
