Elderly Driving can be Dangerous

The Elderly Driving subject is beginning to be a problem with my dad. I feel the independent nature of driving and the potential of taking that away from him is stressing him out in a big way. When I bring up the subject he really goes off and dismisses the statement like I don't know what I am talking about. I am fearful as I see or read that some elderly driver has hurt or killed someone while pressing on the wrong pedal or drove through a crowd. Makes me shudder to think. I bring this subject up at least once a week and i thing I maybe making some headway as I spoke to him about the various accidents that have happened at it seemed to really take effect. So, I am talking to him without griping and hope soon he will allow me to drive him places instead.
