Hey guys, I hope this subject is ok in here. I have a off the wall story/question about laws and what can legally be done with my situation. Here it goes:
So lately my wife has been helping her grandma work during her off hours from practicing. she does it for about 3 hours a day on average of 3 times a week, they drive to businesses and clean businesses when they are closed as well as some peoples houses. Anyway her grandma was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about 6 months ago, she is a danger to everyone on the road and is too stubborn to give up the keys and freaks out and refuses to let anyone else drive her. My wife has taken the keys and her grandma called the police and said she was trying to steal her car. Anyway its a daily occurrence that I hear how she about killed them as well as others on the road from stupid stuff she doesn't even realize she does. Today was the last straw for me, she stopped at a red light turning only lane, treated it as a 4 way stop and go and just started turning with on coming traffic which had to skid to a stop in order to not hit them. Her grandma then blames them saying they are idiots and doesn't realize its her problem. This stuff happens everyday, she almost killed a motorcycle rider last week. So, to backtrack, my wife has contacted her doctor about a month and a half ago and her doctor had the DOT take her license and give her a temp license until she could legally pass the driving and written test again. Needless to say I hear last week she finally passed the written test in which she had one month to pass. She took the test everyday in which she failed, then all the sudden passes. Later on my wife tells me how she was bragging about how she passed the last test, the DOT lady was standing with her as she took it basically feeding her answers, when she would pick a wrong one she said the lady was like "are you sure you don't want to re-read that one?" Anyway she got her license back. I am furious as she will not keep getting lucky and will seriously injure others or my wife. What actions can I take, not only for her to not drive but for the DOT lady who just put other families at risk with her unethical actions. Sorry for the long story but Im desperate for help. Thanks guys
