When should senior drivers no longer get behind the wheel?

Description

The article explores the question of when senior drivers should consider getting out of the driver’s seat, balancing road safety with independence and quality of life. It reflects on data showing how older drivers’ crash involvement changes with age, the challenges that come with ageing (e.g., vision, reaction time) and the broader debates around policy, capability and fairness. It recognises the importance of mobility for older adults and the need for supportive, evidence-based approaches rather than age-based assumptions.
