Mrs Damen encouraged anyone concerned about A Family member's ability to Drive to " please just Say Something ".
" Because ultimately, if you don't and they get behind The Wheel of a car, look what's happened in My Case : my dad should still be here and he's not and there's no reason for That , " She Said .
Mrs Damen would like free mandatory eyes tests " whenever you renew your licence".

The Bbc Freedom of Information request found That , in 2022, 48,754 notifications were submitted to the DVLA with concerns over a person's fitness to Drive - up 82% from 26,716 in 2021.
During The First three months of 2023, The Agency received 11,548.
These numbers include self-declarations, those by medical officials and third-party notifications.
'Pretty rotten proxy'Department for Transport (DfT) data shows increased casualty rates for both older and younger drivers.
Older drivers, defined as those aged 70 and over, made up 21% of Car Driver fatalities in 2021. Younger drivers, aged 17-24, made up 16%.
Caroline Abrahams, charity director of Age Uk , said: " Our view, and the research backs up the notion, is That age is a pretty rotten proxy for ability to Drive .
" As we get older, our reaction time slows down. But we tend to Make Up for That , because we have greater experience. "
DVLA data shows, as of 13 May, there were 6,023,173 people aged 70 and over who hold full driving licences in Great Britain .
In 2017, The Number aged 90 and over topped 100,000 for the First Time . As of May, the figure is 139,673.
Ms Abrahams said: " Most of us will get to The Point where actually it is time for us to hang up The Keys . But judging That is quite hard. "
She Said many older people " value their bus pass. But of course it's only any good if there's a bus to take".
In February, suggested Britain's Local Bus network shrank by an estimated 14%.
That found older drivers are not more dangerous. He Said they are over represented in collision data due to frailty.
But He Said it was " probably a good idea" to introduce " a driving test or some kind of cognitive test or a medical test".
Prof Musselwhite said those who planned their retirement from driving were able to hang up their keys more successfully.
" They've got friends and family and neighbours sometimes to help them do the driving, " He Said .
" But those who left it far Too Late are At Risk of feeling very isolated, really not being able to fulfil their lives through the journeys That they'd once done. "
In 2011, was hit by an Elderly Man driving the wrong way down a dual carriageway.
His Mother Pat Colquhoun said: " He was 27, whole life in front of him, Taken Away by a stubborn old man who wouldn't listen to His Family .
" It just seems madness to me That A Gentleman with such poor eyesight was allowed to Drive . "
'Renew their licence'Rob Heard, chairman of the Older Drivers Forum, said those thinking of having That " difficult conversation" with a loved one should consider who is The Best person to speak to them, when is The Right time, and what steps can be taken together.
Becky Guy, road safety manager for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, added: " The First thing That anyone should do if they're concerned about their driving for a medical reason is visit their GP straight away. "
She Said " simple assessments" can help drivers find areas where they can improve, while driving mobility centres can " advise on how people can continue to Drive safely, perhaps with adaptations to their vehicle".
A DfT spokesperson said: " All drivers are already required to ensure they are medically fit to Drive , and all car drivers over 70 must renew their licence every three years. We have no plans to change the requirements for older drivers. "
