Many older adults drive safely for years, but changes in vision, reaction time, and medications can affect driving.
Schedule regular eye exams, review medications that cause drowsiness, avoid driving at night or in bad weather if it feels difficult, and consider a refresher course.
Pin Tip
Family members can ride along occasionally to observe driving comfortably and respectfully.
