How to report unsafe drivers

If you know someone in your building is still driving who perhaps should not be, you can fill out an OC-88 form and submit it to the Secretary of State’s office. The person will then have to be re-examined to see whether it is still safe for them to drive. More information and a link to the form: http://www.michigan.gov/sos/0,1607,7-127-1627_8665_9066-23762–,00.html
