If he had a stroke he is probably driving to the best of his abilities (if indeed he is even as bad as you say with his skills) and possibly shouldn't be driving at all.

Surprisingly my father held up very well to his stroke. No slurred speech and just a little bit of motor loss in his right shoulder. His memory is also intact. But since he was kind of on his own we didn't really want anything to happen to him without anyone else there to help watch him.
But as far as the cost of a clutch is concerned, it's always nice to not have to needlessly pay for something that shouldn't happen anyway. I just don't have the guts to call him out on it. Since he's retired he just usually walks around outside of the house looking for something to do. I'll come home at times from work to find a ladder propped up against the house with him at the top trying to hose the leaves that have cluttered up the gutters. It's very frightening at times. To keep him busy I've purchased some tools to throw in the garage such as a saw and some wood so he can build stuff. He's actually getting really good at it and YouTube has become his best friend. Besides, I know it's heresy here but, I like keeping my cars as stock as possible. (Hoping they become rarer in the future? IDK?)
