Assessing Driving Abilities: Keeping Older Drivers Safe on the Road

Assessing Driving Abilities: Keeping Older Drivers Safe on the Road

Season 5 Episode 76 Published 2 years, 5 months ago
Description

In this episode, Kev and Tracey discuss the important topic of assessing driving abilities for individuals over 70 years old.

We chat about:

  • Assessing Driving Abilities at 70, not taking away licenses
  • Recognising Age-Related Changes 
  • New Car Technology - how it can assist (but also confuse)

While listening to this episode, ask yourself:

  • How will you ensure that you remain safe on the road as you age?
  • Have you considered your alternative plans for when you no longer drive?
