This is a tough situation and one you can not win but you will have to do something. My adotive mother got to be a terrible driver but if anybody said anything to her she would threaten to "sell the farm " and disinherit everybody. Just refusing a ride from her would set her off. The sad part to this is that when she was 87 she was driving to meet some widow friends to go out to lunch with. They all thought she was a great driver, but then none of them had cars. On the way tto pick them up she failed to stop at a intersection and collided with another car. Luckily the boy driving the other car was not hurt but she was killed in the accident. You cannot believe how hard it is to have to go to the hospital to identify a relative's body. For your father's sake as well as others you have to do something even though it may be unpleasant. I have kicked myself for over 15 yrs because I didn't stand up and do something.
