Driving Dilemma, The
It's no secret that our population is aging. In fact, it won't be long before one in four drivers will be over the age of 65. Research suggests we'll outlive our ability to drive by almost ten years—but knowing when to stop or limit driving isn't always clear.

The Driving Dilemma is a comprehensive resource for older drivers and their families facing questions about driving safety. Dr. Dugan provides clear, useful information about the effects of age, medical conditions, and medications on driving. She offers practical advice on how to discuss this issue with loved ones. Such talks can be difficult, and the book provides not only the facts, but also a research-based approach to communication, with useful sample dialogue scripts that will help you discuss driving with your loved ones. Also included are state-by-state listings of available resources, making this book a total information source for families.

Assessing Fitness to Drive


Your aunt is 86 and has just returned from a care facility where she had stayed to recover from a fall. She walks very slowly and has difficulty with stairs, but she insists she is a safe driver and hasn't had any kind of traffic accident in more than 20 years. Still, you wonder, should she be driving?

Your father is 72 and is in relatively good health, but while driving with you recently on the highway, he strayed to the left hand shoulder, then overcorrected with a sudden jerk of the wheel. This left you frightened and him defensively arguing that it wasn't a big deal. Is he at risk?

Your mother is 75 and you've noticed that in the past couple of years she has been repeating herself sometimes telling you the same story twice in a conversation. You notice some dings on the bumpers of her car, and a scratch on the right side. When you ask her about them, she seems surprised and says they must be from other people bumping into her car while it was parked at the grocery store. Should you be worried about her driving?

These very common situations all confront you with a similar challenge: How do you know ... read full excerpt from Driving Dilemma, The ebook
