- No, aging does not change the abilities that affect driving.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because of the physical and mental decline that comes with age.
Yes. With age, reaction time tends to get longer, braking strength decreases, vision and hearing get worse, and paying attention to traffic and making quick decisions become harder. These are abilities you need to drive safely, and age does not improve them.
