Can advanced age be a factor that contributes to distracted driving?
- Yes, always.
- No.
- Yes, if proper precautions are not taken.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, if proper precautions are not taken.
Yes. As you get older, staying focused and coping with traffic stress become harder, so advanced age can contribute to distraction. This does not happen to every older driver or all the time. Knowing your limits and taking precautions, such as avoiding driving at night or during rush hour, reduces that risk.
