Awareness makes us smarter and safer drivers! Being aware of the telltale signs of age-related signals that tell us to modify our driving behaviors is the first step. For example, some age-related signs of slowing down may be that you have difficulty distinguishing between colors or miss an occasional sign or signal. It may be that you feel that it is more difficult to judge gaps in traffic, or you may feel that other drivers are just too aggressive or in too big of a rush. You may also find it difficult to make sharp turns or come to a quick stop. There are many age-related signs of slowing down that may occur when driving, and these signals may be cause for concern. While you can be your own worst critic concerning your driving habits and behaviors, various evaluations by professionals can help you decide if you need adaptive equipment for driving, self-regulation concerning driving, or compensating practices and strategies to reduce the difficulty or exposure to unsafe driving situations. |
