If that is not the case, remember all the little tricks like filing down the ignition key so it won't work, getting a note from the doctor saying your husband cannot drive, saying the car is being repaired and I know that there were other " tricks " mentioned. . .. carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Dear Friends, Iv`e got a real problem with my Jim LBD. After not driving for over a year he has decieded that he will start driving again for short trips near our home..like up to Krogers, the gas station and the car wash. In fact he has made three trips in the past three days. When he took the conversion van to the car wash he was gone an hour and a half. It had to be washed three or four times & then he dropped newspapers off at the recycling bin. I took off looking for him and we crossed paths when he was coming back home. I was scared out of my wits. He said I WILL DRIVE shorts trips even when I said no. We also have a one year old Toyato and I don`t want him driving that. He knocked the side view mirror off that before he stopped driving. He said the next time he would take the cell phone with him. The doctor had advised him not to drive over a year ago and he said that she just said that because he might get lost and he couldn`t get lost on short trips HA so he takes that to mean he can drive to nearby places. He SHOULD NOT DRIVE . I would not ride anywhere with him. He originally said he wouldn`t drive and take a chance on hurting himself or anyone else...or cause us worry. After some discussion I dropped the subject . This morning he came in to me and said to me " I will not drive again unless you give me permission. " THAT`S GOOD but it also means he will be asking again and the subject isn`t really closed. He said he was really sorry that he had caused me so much worry . My children think we should approach him by telling him how proud we are for making the decision not to drive because he wouldn`t want to harm anybody else or himself. . What do you all think?

What do you all think? oh my how awful delimma. but you know maybe the kids have a point, approach it as proud and happy that he made this deiciosn on his own, and ensure that you all continue to love him adn respect him even more for this decision, but remember lbd tends to be repetitive, how many times have we all been aske the same question over and over, i think it may also be a good idea to give him some fake keys, like you give kids to play with they look real but are not working keys, whether you filed his set of keys down, or just gave him a set of keys that dont go to anything, might alos help, goood luck, sharon m a smile a day keeps the meanies away!!! laughter is a breath of fresh air!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 We are currently having problems with my grandmother trying to drive. She is under doctor orders from 3 different docs not to drive. We've had to lock the keys up. We also pull the fuse for the ignition when it isn't in use, just in case. We had an officer talk to her, he told her that they would arrest her if they ever found her driving but that only worked for about a week. I wish you the best of luck in this. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

I tried that fake keys trick with my husband and he woudln't give up when they didn't fit in the ignition and jammed them into the key slot. They were stuck in there for quite awhile, until I worked and worked at getting the key loose. I was lucky it didn't ruin the ignition and that I didn't have to have that repaired. eeeek, i retract advise of fake keys, glad that didnt happen when they did that to my uncle. sharon m a smile a day keeps the meanies away!!! laughter is a breath of fresh air!
