When to Stop
A driver's chronological age is not a good predictor of driving ability. What counts on the road is performance. Here are a few of the signs of diminished capacity for driving safely:
- Having a series of minor accidents or near misses
- Having wandering thoughts or being unable to concentrate
- Being unable to read ordinary road signs
- Getting lost on familiar roads
- Having other drivers honk at you frequently
- Being spoken to about your driving by police, family, and friends
Be honest with yourself; if you are a danger on the road, take responsibility and either improve your skills or stop driving.
