Problems with senior's driving -Reporting a concern 

from http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/Licenses/reporting_concern.htm

Serious concerns about an individual's driving skills can be reported to MVC's Medical Review Unit using the process described below. The Medical Review Unit screens and establishes cases based on referrals from medical professionals, police, courts, social workers and family members. Physicians are required by law to notify MVC if patient suffers from a recurrent seizure, recurrent periods of unconsciousness or for impairment or loss of motor coordination due to conditions such as, but not limited to, epilepsy. (NJSA 39:3-10.4). Anonymous reports cannot be accepted. 

The American Medical Association (AMA) 1999 ethical guidelines states that all physicians are ethically responsible for notifying their state Motor Vehicle Department if they believe a patient may not be able to drive safely. 

In order to report a concern:

• Write a letter detailing the motorist's medical condition and as much of the following information as possible: name and address, driver license number and date of birth. Include your full name and address, your relationship to the driver and your observations regarding the person’s driving safety 
• Fax the letter to (609) 292-7504. Or mail it to: Medical Review Unit, NJMVC, P.O. Box 173 , Trenton , NJ 08666-0173
• Questions may be directed to (609) 292-7500 x5032
