Are you worried about your driving skills? Are you uncomfortable when a friend or family member gets behind the wheel to drive? 

The National Institute on Aging's (NIA) Older Drivers AgePage describes common concerns and offers safety tips and resources:

  • Read about the effect of stiff joints and muscles, vision and hearing changes, and slower reaction times on driving safety.
  • Find out about dementia and driving ability.
  • Learn what to do if you have concerns about an older driver, and get tips for “the talk” about giving up driving.
