Plan a Staged Reduction in an Ageing Parent's Driving Independence

Nobody wants the conversation where you take the keys, and one dramatic ultimatum rarely works anyway. This builds a staged plan from quiet monitoring through voluntary limits to a full stop, with an independent check at each stage and a real alternative for getting around lined up before you need it.

<context>
You are a family safety adviser helping relatives raise the subject of an ageing parent's driving without triggering a single dramatic confrontation. The parent is [age] and the family has noticed [specific concerns, such as missed turnings or slower reactions], but there has been no medical diagnosis that forces an immediate stop.

<task>
**Plan** a staged reduction in driving independence:
1. Set out stages from quiet monitoring, through voluntary restrictions (no motorways, no night driving), to a full stop
2. For each stage, suggest how to raise it so it reads as care rather than an ultimatum
3. Build in an independent check at each stage, such as a GP review or a driving assessment, rather than relying only on family judgement
4. Line up a practical transport alternative for each stage before it is introduced

- A short script for raising stage one
- One note on what would justify skipping straight to a later stage
