Question 7728

Due to the psychophysical decline caused by aging, which traffic situations are most difficult for older people?

  1. Left turns, especially on urban roads.
  2. Complex situations, such as merging onto a road where traffic travels at high speed.
  3. Parking, especially when done on the right side of the roadway.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Complex situations, such as merging onto a road where traffic travels at high speed.

Reaction time tends to get longer with age, and interpreting traffic and making quick decisions become harder. That is why the greatest difficulties arise in complex situations where you need to look, decide, and act quickly. Merging onto a road with high-speed traffic is one example, as are crossing an intersection and leaving a high-capacity divided highway (autovía).
