dad loves to speed,and to top it all off he is in the early stages of alzheimers,which means that I am always repeating things.His short term memory is gone meaning you tell him one thing and he ll forget what it was you said. what I am getting at is that how do you tell a strong willed person that he cannot or should not be driving a car?Dad has come close but never had an accident,however he ie tempting fate.I hate to get in the car whenever he drives. What do I do?

When I die, I want to go like my grandfather, peacefully, in his sleep; not yelling and screaming like the passengers in his car.

Um..take away his license and put him in a nursing homewhere he can play bingo all day.
Really. What does a 93 year old man need a car for? Work? Pick the kids up from school? Clothes shopping?

Take away his keys when he is not looking. He won't remember where they are anyway. Then in case he finds them disconnect the battery, and pull off all the spark plug wires. He won't be going anywhere.

take parts off the motor in his car so he will not Drive and offer to Drive for him ,because his car is not working
take him to the dr. and tell the dr. your concerns about him driving and have him turn in his lic. and get a state id.
we had to do this to my mom-in-law and it was hard to do

Go to the DMV and ask them about it and they may be able to take away his liscense. He might not like it for a while, but its better for everyone.
