We had to take away my mothers car and keys when she turned 82 years old because she was starting to show signs of dementia. She's doing fine now at 85 and it was a great relief to all of us that we took action in time and didn't wait for someone to get hurt or for her to get lost. My mother didn't like it at first but she got used to it because we help her out as much as possible.

Yeah. my uncle was the same. He took it pretty well after a family sit down with him. He knew it was necessary, but it was hard to see the poor guy have to give up his freedom. Wasn't too much longer until the diabetes started to take his sight.
