If a police officer sees dangerous driving situations or sees vehicle code violations occur, the officer has probably cause for a traffic stop. If the car was being driven by a senior or medically disabled driver, the officer can require the driver to be re-examined by the DMV.
The officer will fill in the appropriate DMV form and send it in. If the observed driving was very dangerous, the officer can immediately take action to temporarily suspend the driving privilege until the DMV re-examination takes place. Please remember — transitioning from driver to passenger is not always easy or smooth. Be gentle, open and sincere.
Do not let fear or guilt delay addressing your concerns. If you have questions or need additional advice, please contact your local police department or DMV.

They evaluated them at the five-year mark and then again at 10 years for signs of dementia. Instead of looking just at the brain, Rockwood and his team look beyond.
Researchers evaluated the group based on an index that included 19 different health deficits frequently associated with aging. Some of these factors included arthritis, hearing problems, eyesight issues and denture fit. It was the first time an evaluation of dementia using non-cognitive factors has ever been done.

They suggest looking at whether there are any connections between the remedies of older age ailments and dementia.
