“You have had problems with driving and directions. We discussed this and you stated you now have a driver,” Dr. Monica Walker wrote in a letter to the courts regarding Williams’ mental capacity.
“Time, place, and person comprehension have not been part of your memory difficulty.
“However, driving demands quick decisions in situations of uncertainty. You are advised not to drive because you do not have the ability to do this.”
Williams has not heeded the warning however, and has been spotted driving himself, his wife and their child multiple times through recent years before the law finally decided to bite his hand with the fine.
