While everyone wants to keep driving for as long as possible, no one wants to be a threat to themselves or to others because they are no longer able to drive safely.

How can you continue driving safely? While most older people take appropriate steps when they detect a problem with their driving, it's not always obvious when a general health problem, vision problem,or a side effect of medications will lead to a driving impairment. That's when the observations of loved ones and health professionals are most vital. Self-awareness is the key. People who can accurately assess their fitness to drive can adjust their driving habits, and stay safe on the road. With smart self-management, you can retain the personal mobility that comes with driving, while limiting the risks to yourself and others.
