Class 5 & 7 driver training
Warning signs for seniors
Following are some important signs to pay attention to:
- You have a growing number of near collisions.
- You have a harder time seeing pedestrians, objects or other vehicles.
- You find it difficult to co-ordinate hand and foot movements.
- You are increasingly nervous behind the wheel.
- You sense that the traffic is moving too fast around you and that other drivers always honk their horn at you.
- You note that other cars appear from nowhere.
- You have difficulty following the rules of the road or remembering them; and, you have difficulty remembering where you parked the car.
- Your family members are expressing real concern about your driving.
Friends and family members are often ready to help drive those who are no longer able, or you could set up a taxi fund with monthly billing.
Finally, keep your car – just hand the keys to someone else so they can drive for you.
