Aging can
lessen
driving
skills
Safe driving during the holidays
includes avoiding alcohol and drugs,
using scat belts as required by law,
and being especially aware of
increased traffic and possible
weather-related hazards.
According to health officials, safe
driving also includes knowing the
limits of one's own driving skills
and using caution against other
drivers' possible impairments.
Carla Baker, at the Texas
Department of Health, (TDH),
explained that increasingly more
traffic injuries and deaths involve
drivers impaired by the effects of
aging. "Statistics from the U.S.
Transportation Research Board
show that the likelihood of a
serious auto accident increases
among 55 and older drivers. As an
age group, those 55 and older are
involved in more traffic accidents,
many of which are deadly, than any
other adult age group except the
youngest (age 15-25)," she said.
Baker, who coordinates older
driver education for the TDH Public
Health Promotion Divi ion, said
that the increased risk of auto
mishaps among older drivers stems
from several factors.
"Federal studies indicated that
aging processes cause changes in
the individual's sensory, physical
and intellectual skills required for
safe driving," she said. "Since
those changes usually are gradual,
an older driver may not notice
them. Also, the age when potential
impairments begin varies from one
to another."
She said the measurable
deficiencies may begin as early as
age 55. Between 55 and 74, a
drivers's skills may decline rapidly
and be further hampered by vision
problems, arthritis, chronic diseases
or medications. Also, an older
person's ability to survive and
recover from severe injury is less
than that of a younger adult.
Baker said that 28 percent, or
about 43 million drivers in the
U.S. arc 55 or older. To cncouragc
those drivers to assess their abilities
and learn techniques for safer
driving, several resources arc
available.
The TDH Safe Riders Program
offers a booklet. Aging and Drivum
Successfully in Texas, about such
subjects as safe driving tips, the
effects of medications or alcohol,
and suggestions for choosing cars
It also lists courses and driver
assessment programs conducted by
the Texas Safety Association, the
American Automobile Association
