There are many possible reasons why an older driver might be prone to avoid freeways. These may relate to travel speed, difficult maneuvers such as merges, traffic mix, conformity with the actions of other motorists, direction finding, perceived hazards, and so forth. One strategy for trying to uncover the reasons for freeway avoidance is to go directly to the older drivers themselves. Focus group discussions provide a method for doing this, and were used as the basis for the study. In addition to the focus group discussion itself, participants filled out a brief questionnaire at the end of the session. The questionnaire addressed such issues as self-imposed driving restrictions, self-perceived driving ability in different situations, freeway use, and factors one dislikes about freeway driving.
