My grandfather is stubored and will not giveup driveing! He has high blood pressure, and his doctor wants him to stop driving. Of corse he won't and he thinks the doctor is crazy for saying that. Anyway, someone said that there is a key that will check his blood pressure, and it will not alow the car to crank if it is to high. Anyone heard of that? Or is anyone has a sugestion. If so please tell me before he or someone gets hurt or killed. We tried to take the keys away but he kind of gets mean and depressed!:)

No, never heard of it. I agree he must drop the key.
I can give you a hunch, have Alzheimer ruled out, but his physician is the best judge.

No, I have never heard of it. Generally Alzheimer's and poor eyesight are what finally makes the elderly turn in their car keys. Can you talk this over with your grandfather? Convince him to give up the keys before he hurts himself or someone else?
In some states you can request that someone retake the driving exam. Check with your local DMV if you have to.
