Drivers who are 65 and above can still drive for as long as possible, although there will be challenges from time to time. Safety tips for older drivers include staying physically active and improving their strength. It would enable them to carry out simple functions like moving their feet from the gas pedal to the brake.

Schedule regular hearing and vision tests as the two decline with age and are needed to drive safely. Manage medications and avoid taking pills that induce sleep. The latter covers tranquilizers, rest and pain medications, and cold remedies.

Older drivers must understand their bodies and limitations and make the necessary adjustments. Drive when the road is in good condition, avoid talking on the phone or texting and update driving skills.
