Hi @tina4and welcome to Dementia Support Forum. I am sorry to hear about your dad. There's some useful information about driving and dementia here:

Driving and dementia

A diagnosis of dementia is not in itself a reason to stop driving. One in three people with dementia still drives. However, over time, dementia affects the skills needed for safe driving.

Best off asking the insurance company your father is with, as they are the one who provide the coverage.
