Driving Safely
Age-related changes to the body and mind can affect a driver’s ability to perform some of the complex tasks needed for safe driving. However, these changes do not have to mean an end to driving. Often, adjustments can be made to minimize the effects of aging and keep drivers safe on the road longer. These adjustments include choice and fit of vehicle, driver’s training, good planning, and staying active and fit.
