Should I Stop Driving? - EVALUATE YOUR DRIVING

 As suggested by the National Institute of Aging (NIA) website in the United States, you could start by asking yourself the following questions:


. Do I have difficulty reading road signs or seeing at night? 


. Am I losing my flexibility, making it difficult for me to turn my head to check my mirrors and blind spots?


. Do I find it challenging to react quickly, such as when moving my foot from the accelerator to the brake pedal? 


. Do I drive so slowly that I interfere with the flow of traffic?


. Have I had a number of near misses, or does my vehicle have dents and scratches because of running into stationary objects? 


. Have I been pulled over by the police officer because of my driving? 


. Have I ever dozed off while driving? 


. Do I take any medications that could affect my driving? 


. Havc my family members or friends expressed concerns about my driving?


If you answered yes to one or two of these questions, you may want to consider making some adjustments. For example, you might limit how much you drive, especially at night. Regularly reassess your driving. You might also consider taking a safe-driving course. However, if you answered yes to several of the questions above, if may be in your best interest to stop driving.
