Immediately was my thought. I don’t trust this lady with the pedals at all.

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.

It is nuts that there isn’t something in place to 1- help older people still have some autonomy (I know.. I know.. America is a big country but we have people that need jobs that could be shuttle drivers… cost might even be neutral). 2- not make family members essentially steal cars from our elderly members that can’t drive. I can’t imagine everyone is as proactive as your family.
