Older drivers have specific issues that need to be addressed including changes in sensory, motor, and cognitive skills may affect driving ability. Motor impairments include lack of neck and limb mobility, whereas sensory declines primarily involve visual impairments. Cognitive impairments include decreased speed of processing and reaction tim well as changes in visual search and visual attention. The recommendation of this study is that a comprehensive screening tool be implemented for older drivers at re-licensure within the state.
