Her daytime driving is a little iffy, but down right dangerous at night. Last April the eye Dr. said to avoid all night time driving. Her response was "I never drive at night!" She has been going to choir, church, and a couple of other night time functions for years. Every time I try to talk to her about it she gets mad, yells, cries and then does something stupid like, go out after 10:00 and then calls me and say, "I just drove from 'town A' to home. I just thought you would want to know I didn't wreck the car!" Over the summer it wasn't so bad because her functions are over by about 8:00. But now that it's getting darker earlier it's crunch time. And I don't know how to help her understand she's not safe. She has no dementia (at least I don't think so) and is in good health for the most part. She has lied several times in the past about it (as well as other things) Any suggestions would be welcomed. I realize that this is not as pressing an issue as some have, but any advise would be helpful. Thank you.
