Is It Still Safe for Your Loved One To Drive?

The ability to drive safely can vary greatly from person to person and is not solely determined by age.  While some seniors may still be capable of driving safely, others may face certain age-related challenges that could affect their driving abilities.

As people age, physical and cognitive changes may occur, potentially impacting their driving skills.  Some common age-related factors that can affect driving include:

• Reduced vision and hearing
• Slower reaction times
• Decreased flexibility and mobility
• Cognitive decline

Family members and caregivers can play a role in monitoring the older adult’s driving abilities and providing support as needed.
