Someone I know shouldn't be driving. In my opinion.

I know the feeling. I have heard that a relation by marriage is so unfit to drive now that he struggles to change gear, so I imagine his ability to brake is equally bad.
It only being heresy, and there being several much closer relatives, both by blood and geographically, who I would hope would take action if things are as dangerous as they sound, I am hesitant to do anything, and I would even have to go behind OHs back if I were to report my concerns.
However, I am very seriously considering doing that, as I would never forgive myself if he were to injure someone,or worse.

I'm actually concerned about someone in their mid 90's may have an accident.

When I see them in the car I feel agitated as I'm sure reactions and quick decisions definitely slow as we get to such a great age. So I'm thinking of other road users too. I know there's an eyesight issue going on.

Not sure if I'm being too anxious on his behalf or whether I should mind my own business. I think it's for family to say something not me. [I don't know him well enough to have a conversation].
