Driving
It has been reported in our local paper that a 68 year old man who went missing from his home outside Dundee was found 100 miles away in Kelso (borders). He was driving a Honda Jazz. Now, that in itself is neither here nor there, but he apparently suffers from dementia. Should he still be driving?

Equally I know some people with dementia who quicly became a danger to themselves and others on the roads.
A diagnosis of dementia should not be an automatic reason for a driving ban - each case should be assessed individually by the family and medics involved

Excellent article here but some dementia sufferers are safe to drive for many years after the first diagnosis
