Take the Interactive Driving Safety Questionnaire 

Over 80 percent of older adults have a driver’s license. Older adults who drive a car have freedom and independence. They feel more in control and satisfied with their lives.

As we age, physical and mental changes can cause problems with driving. These changes aren’t related to a certain age. They include:

  • Vision problems
  • Problems with the ability to think and make decisions
  • Physical changes such as arthritis
