I have the exact same problem; my dad was a mechanic all his life - built custom cars, race cars, etc. It would be hard to 'disable' a vehicle in such a way that he couldn't get it running again in short order.
Dad turned 80 this year, and he's not in very good shape. He's had two major heart surgeries in the past year, and at the moment he has an infection behind his left eyeball that has made him virtualy blind on that side. Add the fact that he drinks 'way too much, and you can see that he's heading for disaster.
He has a whole bunch of cars at the moment, and I've tried to set things up so ha can't drive, but he manages to find a way no matter what I do. When I got all his car and truck batteries run down so nothing would start, he went out and started up an old golf cart he has and began driving it instead.
He lives out in the mountains, and finding him travelling at 15 mph on blind curves is bad. Even worse when he's wandered over to the wrong side of the road!
I have alerted the California Dept. of Motor Vehicles to have him tested again, hoping they will pull his license, even though I know it won't stop him from driving. He'll just drive with no license or insurance!
