Question 7736
As drivers, can getting older affect our driving?
- No, because the physical and mental abilities that affect driving are not altered.
- Yes, because changes gradually occur in physical and mental abilities.
- Yes, but positively, because all older drivers contribute very valuable experience.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because changes gradually occur in physical and mental abilities.
Yes. With age, abilities needed for driving decline, including vision, hearing, reaction time, and the ability to make quick decisions. Everyone ages at their own pace, and experience does not always make up for that decline.
