Dementia and driving- Alzheimer's Society Podcast April 2014

Someone who is diagnosed with dementia may be able to continue driving for some time. However, they must fulfil certain legal requirements. As the person's dementia progresses, they will reach a point where they can no longer drive safely and must stop driving. Many people find this very difficult to accept. In this episode of the podcast I speak to National Dementia Helpline advisor Angelo about the legal process and how to deal with the sometimes difficult situation.
