Learning about licensing, reporting and transportation options 

If a drivers' licensing authority suspended the person with dementia's licence, they should have stopped driving immediately.

If they continue driving, they put themselves and others at risk. In addition, if they get into an accident, there is a chance that their insurance will not cover any injuries or damages. To get around without driving, work with the person with dementia and their doctor to come up with an alternative transportation plan (click here). Here are some specific ideas, based on where the person with dementia lives.
