One of the signs we missed regarding his ability to drive were new dents and scratches in his Jeep and MH and cargo trailer. Each time we would visit him I noticed new scratches or dents...he would claim they happened when he was re-positioning a vehicle or clearing brush. I now know it was due to his dementia.
