Along with that his wife had to explain ever question too him and tell him how to answer it. There is no way that this guy should have a drivers liscense. He will probably end up hurting or killing someone if he is on the road.

I agree with you 100%, past 65 you should be tested EVERY year, and that includes a written and driving test.
My Grandfather, just before he died had quite severe alzheimers, yet they still renewed his drivers license twice! He got into two major accidents and many many near misses and they would still let him drive. We finally had to take the license and his car away for his and others safety. He was angry for quite a while but forgot soon enough with the alzheimers.
