When does the freedom of the senior, by being able to drive him or herself wherever they want to go, become more important than the safety of all others on the road? Sometimes we have to take a stand, out of love for our elderly friends and family, that will not be popular with them. <BR/><BR/>We did not actually take the key ring away from my M-I-L, but we took the car kesy off of it when she was notlooking and someone is always there to take her where she needs to go, because she is dangerous behind the wheel. <BR/><BR/>She still insists she can drive, but my God, she wears a morphine patch and takes two other pain medications!
