About a year ago, we listed a post that featured a great video on Seniors & Driving. The video was entertaining, and provided some very succinct information on the topic. If you missed it, you can watch it again by clicking here. It's well worth viewing! With this in mind we'd like to offer some warning signs that you notice that might require you to take action on this problem:Having more than one at-fault accident in a year.
Unexplained scratches or dents.
Tickets for unsafe driving.
Difficulty reading road signs.
Getting lost or easily confused.
Medical treatment for the eyes or ears.
Often, family members will observe an elderly relative's driving ability decline without knowing what to do. It's a sensitive subject to approach! Sometimes you may be able to get a family doctor, counselor, social worker, etc., to issue a "no more driving" prescription. Hearing the news from a professional can soften the blow and make following the advice easier. Waiting until an accident happens is the worst approach, so be proactive try to lead the way.
