Ran a stop sign the other day and a red light a few days later

maybe enough is enough.

I am always mystified as to why people respond the way they do. OK….I understand that some are trying to be helpful in trying to guide the poster to seek medical advice/stop driving. Kudos to you. I really am disheartened by some insulting comments. Constructive criticism is always better than destructive criticism. And if you think you have been had, just shrug it off.

Please get checked, don't take someone's life just because you fear losing some independence.

It’s time to park the car and put the keys on the hook. Do yourself a huge favor and stop driving. I would think your doctor would have enough sense to have your license pulled.

A doctor can’t have a license pulled. All they can do is send a diagnosis to the authorities and them take care of it. It’s not as easy as people think to get a dangerous drivers Iicense revoked.

You don't want to spend your golden years in prison, or paying an early visit to the cemetery.

Tear up your license before you kill someone.

Thank you.

I'm not sure where OP lives - his avatar says Easy Coast if that helps others know - but in Australia - a doctor certainly can
revoke your licence on medical grounds.
You can appeal that - although after over a decade working in general practice I have only ever known one person to successfully do so.

There is also a TV campaign at the moment saying "dont give up driving by accident" - encouraging seniors to know when to voluntarily relinquish their licence, before anything happens.
Certainly seems that is what OP should do - either permanantly or at least until these episodes can be medically treated/prevented, if that is possible
