Driving is a complex task that involves many different skills and body functions. We need to integrate our visual, cognitive, physical, and perceptual skills to drive safely. For many older adults, a vehicle is a way to get around and a sign of their independence, enabling them to maintain their social and community activities. This is an essential factor in maintaining their quality of life. As we age, health and medical conditions changes can affect driving ability, compromising safety on the road.
