Supporting Older People in Rotherham, South Yorkshire to Keep Driving.
“Getting older should not stop us from driving. In fact many of us depend upon driving for our day to day independence.”
As we get older we may find driving starts to become more challenging. Sometimes it may be time to retire from driving. However, this is not always the case. Early intervention can help you to stay driving by developing the skills and awareness you need to stay safe.
Medications, fatigue and speed of processing situations can affect how well we drive. The good news is there is driving training available which can help to make driving as easy as possible for you.
Top Tips
Get your eyes checked regularly. Regular eye sight checks will help you to stay safe when driving.
Drive regularly. If you do not use your driving skills you will lose them. Skills fade will make it even more challenging for you to drive.
Seek help early. There is help available to keep you driving. However, do not wait until you have a problem which impacts on your ability to drive.
Early intervention and training can help you to stay driving.
