Hi everyone,
Just giving an update on situation with my gran. Went round week before last and we both looked for her driving licence- eventually found it and it actually expires in december this year (day before her 79th birthday). We have explained to gran that the DVLA may not give her a new licence due to her dementia diagnosis. At first she was very cross ' i can't cope without the car' , 'I just won't tell them' etc. But have explained legality (insurence etc) of the situation and how much money she will save (she has a free bus pass though it needs renewing. So i think she will come round to the idea...hopefully.
Thanks for all the advice given.
Jodie
