My dad had to physically remove my granddads car from him when he turned 90. He never drove over 27mph - ever, never checked his blind spots and actually never passed his test officially - he got a licence from the army. He prided himself on never having an accident or any points but it used to be sooo embarrassing being in the car with him - cyclists would often overtake him. My dad felt awful taking his car away but he really was a danger to other road users, he would also overreact and perform an emergency stop if another car on the road pressed their brakes - even a tiny bit. Oh...the main reason my dad took the car away was he was half blind because he also had severe cataracts but still claimed he could drive!
