Some people think older adults should not drive because of changes in perceptual abilities and reaction time. As a group, they are cited more than younger drivers for “failure to obey signs and signals,” “failure to yield right of way,” and “inattention.” At the same time, 15- to 24-year-olds are more likely to die in a motor vehicle accident than 40- to 69-year-olds and 80+-year-olds. Discuss the implications of changes in sensory and perceptual abilities across the lifespan for road safety. How you might revise driving tests based on evidence presented in chapter 6.
