Briefly describe the changes that occur in the abilities of older drivers (aged 65 and over) that influence their driving capability.
What will be an ideal response?
As one grows older, his or her sensory, cognitive, and physical
functioning ability declines, which can result in older drivers being less safe than
their younger counterparts, and with a higher probability of being injured when
involved in a crash. Specific declining abilities of older drivers include reduced
visual acuity, ability to see at night, and flexibility and motion range. This group
also suffers from narrower visual fields, greater sensitivity to glare, higher
reaction times, and reduced muscle strength, which may result in the older driver
having a higher crash risk.
