Jeff walking off, getting a car and come what may. Jeff is plenty capable to walk into a Washington State Dept. of Licensing and walk out with a renewed license. Ron's 'help' is in driving Jeff to where he did just that! Ron and I drive Jeff all over our area. We do this because we know Jeff and we know that he should not be driving himself anywhere.

" The handicapped should be individually assessed for a drivers license, gun licenses and any other license, just like everyone else is. " By who? His doctors can not even make him take his meds much less take away his drivers license and WDOL granted Jeff that license. You OK with that? You OK with knowing that a schizophrenic who chooses to not take his meds is licensable to drive on our roads and highways? If you are aware of some rule within WDOL that can take away Jeff's license or prevent him from renewing it please point it out.

A part of me wants to delete this OP because I am not interested in being called an enabler or told what I know but...there are others out there like Jeff. Well let's see where this takes us first.
