Keeping Drivers with Dementia off the Road
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:
Anyone who is demented is very ill and should be under close supervision, if not under lock and key. It is an illness, and only some people with dementia are demented.
But the overwhelming majority of people with dementia are not demented, and it is unfair to label them as such. We have an illness called dementia. I have no doubt you are at times ill and would hate to be name called.
I agree that when dementia appears, drivers and operators of machinery should be tested. Some can drive safely. Their license should be withdrawn only when it is no longer safe for them, or the public, to continue.
Keep well and happy and have a great time over the festive season and the new year.
