My Mother gave up driving about 5 years ago, largely because her nerve went. Even if she wanted to start again she's no longer physically capable, struggles that get in as a passenger. Never thought until now whether she's actually surrendered her licence. There must though be thousands of drivers who give up every year. If DVLA thought a real purge was needed for database cleansing, compliance or preventing personation then I guess they'd put more effort into chasing non renewers.
If I were in OP shoes I'd probably write to DVLA explaining Mum's circumstances and health,, referring to any Power o Attorney held. Seriously doubt DVLA would do more than thank and note. What would they gain by holding a beauractic inquest other than bad publicity?
