Hi Everyone,

Hope everyone is ok.I've not posted for a a while.
Had a review mtg with social worker today and he thinks it would be a
great idea to pursue getting my dads driving license back, as my dad
keeps going on about it. He's deemed as 'lacking capacity' so is
under the court of protection (i'm the court appointed
reciever/deputy) and had his license revoked 3 years ago.
I have MAJOR concerns about this and even if I take out the issue of
alcohol (he still drinks), financial (not enough money to run a car),
insurance (who would insure him?)I'm still left with the short term
memory defecit, lack of insight into memory/condition, decreased
concentration and attention problem. I'm assuming that he would be
treated as a brain injury under the DVLA rules with cognitive
impairment and so would have to go to a regional driving assessment
centre. If he passes then I obv have the concerns as above but if he
fails (and I'm hoping for his safety and the safety of everyone on
the road that he does fail)I'll have the 'fall out' from that. When
the SW asked him today what he would do if they said that he couldn't
have it back he said he would sue them!!
Does anyone have any experience of having to go through this or a
similar experience and does anyone u care for still drive/gone back
to driving?? I'm so worried about it and don't know what to do,
Thank you.
