A Medicare HMO doctor has said my friend should not be driving. Does that doctor have the power to have his license taken away? He has never had a ticket or accident. (the doctor diagnosed dementia, but his driving is fine). Please advise.

If the doctor writes a letter to the drivers license bureau, they may take action.

No, but if the doctor advised this, you would do your friend a good favor and tell him or her to follow this advice. Your friend may indeed be a dangerous driver now (past history becomes irrelevant). If your friend is impaired by dementia, an accident could kill him/her or someone else or both. Or cause serious injury. Your friend would be subjected to far greater problems than just having to give up driving.
