I was recently faced with this as a very real possibility and it was staved off with the miraculous results of cataract surgery (which had been delayed due to added risks in my case).

For the first time in my life I now have a licence which doesn't require specs to be worn

See you in Corowa? Regards - Laurie

Throughout life, loss of a Drivers Licence constitutes punishment for bad behaviour on the roads, then for some reason or other, be it medical, or too many birthdays, a Driver is expected to surrender his Licence. For some elderly people this is a huge lifestyle change and loss of independence.
Often the surrender or cessation of a Licence comes too late, damage, injury, or even a fatality, may have already occurred.

Cheers, Mick.

The licensing authority could cancel his licence based on a police or medical report even if he's not charged. I see they've tested his eyesight, but he passed.

Police speak to Prince Philip about 'not wearing seatbelt' days after crash - 7 News

Prince Philip spoken to by police about not wearing seatbelt after crash

To his wife, the Queen, after her coronation

“Where did you get the hat?”

Police said the advice given to Philip was “n line with our standard response when being made aware of such images showing this type of offence”.

I bet they all don't start with "Now look 'ere your Royal 'ighness, wot you did Sir, just ain't on ok, so just behave your self when you venture out on your Missus's 'ighway or my lads will have to bring you in & I remind you, we do have some nice Stairways at the station that you can try out, if you get my drift, Sir."



I guess one had to be there.

Well put, and I can only concur, Mick .... Obviously none of us look forward to that potential decision time which, in my case, I have already been firmly told will be managed by immediate family if/when they deem it to be required..... and if I last that long
