Driving The process of growing older tests our independence in many ways. Often it seems that a driver's license is an official symbol of independence. Careful studies show that accidents increase for older drivers. The changes that occur with aging and its many associated diseases produce genuine impairment in some older drivers.
Caregivers are often the persons who notice the first signs of unsafe driving habits.
The following tips are measures to help caregivers minimize the driving risk of care receivers. Avoid driving at night. Nighttime vision may be impaired by glare and light sensitivity. Careful scheduling can allow a full and active life without nighttime driving. Avoid busy driving times.
