Money Moral Dilemma: Should we drive my mother-in-law over when she doesn't pay towards petrol?

I just wonder why she isn't driving herself.  I am only a year younger than her & I certainly would be driving myself.  If as I suspect she is, like many women my age, a non-driver who has always been driven around by her husband.  The cost & even the tiredness involved in this journey has probably never even crossed her mind.

At 80 I suspect she's only driving locally.  I drive, but wouldn't want to drive that far and back on the same day, especially if there's a lot of traffic, dual carriage ways with slip roads on and off, as well as it may be dark.

This!!!

Non drivers seem oblivious to how unpleasant driving has become, at times.

Congestion, roadworks, other drivers, bad weather, navigating, parking etc etc.

They just sit there, being chauffeured... oblivious.  😡
