These drivers were far less likely to drive at night than younger people and felt more anxious about it when they had to. Glare was said to be a particular problem for drivers of all ages and in both cities. Seeing other traffic was more difficult for older drivers. Older drivers claimed to have less difficulty judging speed than younger drivers and reported fewer occasions when they were surprised by unexpected cars.
All drivers prefer signalised intersections when having to cross busy roads.
Older drivers in particular preferred turning at intersections where there were green arrows to control the opposing traffic.

There was widespread acceptance of roundabouts as a desirable feature, especially among Canberra residents of all ages. Older drivers and those living in Canberra were more favourably disposed to speed humps than younger drivers. Older drivers were more likely to lock their doors while driving.
