DRIVERS 55 PLUS: TEST YOUR OWN PERFORMANCE. A SELF-RATING FORM OF QUESTIONS, FACTS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR SAFE DRIVING

There is convincing evidence that the skills necessary for safe driving begin to deteriorate at age 55 or thereabouts, perhaps dramatically so after 75. There is also much evidence that aging drivers can cope safely with this decline. Toward that end it is important that they recognize their limitations and unsafe practices, and be aware of remedial actions--and that is the purpose of this older driver self-rating package. There are 15 questions from which a score is computed and its meaning given. A detailed explanation is then provided, in which measures to be taken to cope with any deficiencies revealed are provided or help is provided to understand when remedial measures are no longer possible.
