Thanks for the support, everyone.

Jazzcat, here in RI it is the DMV who issues the state IDs. Just like for the driver license.

Dad has always been stubborn; AND a procrastinator. (My brother calls him "The Great Procrastinator of our Time.") I am sure he "meant" to stop driving, he just didn't get around to it yet.

I thought the primary doc would ask him for his license, or take some action. At least, that is what the diabetes doc led me to believe. Instead she passed the buck to me. Oh well. All part of the learning curve.

Dad is 80. His sister (age 85) stopped driving, voluntarily, as of Sunday. (It was time to renew the car registration and she decided not to.) I remind him of this. He says, "well, when I get to 85 then." Note to self: Skip THAT argument in future.
