i was thinking more along the lines of liability for any others (possible co-owners) who might have been shown to have exposure to liability on the grounds of negligient entrustment (as m mentioned), especially if this fellow had a history of not having sufficient faculty to control his car (garage incidents). my only thought was perhaps if more people felt that the liability of injury and death from elderly relatives might extend beyond just the principle involved, they might be a bit more proactive in doing what was necessary to keep the incapacitated driver off the streets.. Now you're getting into questions of proximate causation. I'll leave it up to M to amplify.
