Talking about driving safety
Warning signs that driving may no longer be safe, and how to have the conversation.
- Warning signs: new dents, getting lost on familiar routes, near misses, confusion at intersections, tickets
- Ask the doctor about vision, medications and a driving evaluation
- Plan other ways to get around before taking the keys
- Florida's DHSMV can review drivers whose medical conditions may affect safety; ask the doctor or DHSMV about the process
Transportation options: family schedules, community shuttles, county paratransit, ride services. Ask your Aging and Disability Resource Center about local transportation programs.
