Mature Drivers

People age at different rates and some people in their seventies are more alert than others in their thirties and forties. Nevertheless, as we become older we tend to lose some of our ability to react quickly to driving problems. Our vision, especially our night vision, might become worse. We might have difficulty hearing and become more likely to develop medical problems.

Whenever possible, if you are an older driver:

Drive on familiar roads and streets;

Drive short distances;

Change your driving habits to fit you capabilities; and

Avoid heavy and fast-moving traffic.
