Hi Spree I know exactly the situation your husband is in I myself was given a 12 month driving licence for 12 years but never gave up my fight for the right to have my full driving licence reinstated if DVLA so finally I decided if they were only going to grant it for the 12 month period they would have to Prove beyond doubt that my dementia was restricting my ability to drive obviously the couldn't because I passed every driving assessment required and had support from family GP memory Consultant's O'T Car Insurance broker and Car Hire companies I use when in Spain
all agreed I had the ability to drive , so DVLA were in a bit of a stick situation pity they didn't listen to me 13 years ago but at least I was granted a full driving licence 18 months ago No more medical enquiries by the I'm 71
from experience out of sight is out of mind,move the car and in time he won't remember he even had one,i had to sell a perfectly good car when the wife was diagnosed,only to replace it with something with no connection to her.
unless you had Alzheimer’s yourself you haven’t got any experience of living with condition at all
