Safe Driving Tips For Senior Drivers

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 8, 2020 / Compare-autoinsurance.org (http://compare-autoinsurance.org) is a top auto insurance brokerage website, providing car insurance quotes online from trustworthy agencies all over the United States. This website presents several safe driving tips for senior drivers. Being a good driver will also help a senior keep insurance costs under control, or even lower them.

The driving abilities change as drivers get older. The chance for a fatal car crash rises when a driver reaches the age of 70. Factors including medications, vision concerns, slow motor functions, and hearing impairment make driving more challenging for senior drivers. To stay safe on the roads, senior drivers should follow the next driving safety tips:

  • Pay attention to medication and its effects on driving. Older people are taking more medications, usually for chronic illnesses like diabetes or heart disease. The medication taken to treat these illnesses can have some side effects. Senior drivers should watch out for medications that cause drowsiness or can make them feel dizzy. Senior drivers should talk with their doctors in order to have a clear understanding of the medications and how they may affect their ability to drive safely.
  • Senior drivers can experience bigger blind spots. Aging muscles cause a reduction in the actual turn of the head of a senior that is trying to look to the side or behind them. As a result, senior drivers can have bigger blind spots around the vehicle, where they have no visual scene to rely on. Senior drivers should ensure they look at least twice before changing lanes.
  • Obey the speed limits. That means senior drivers should avoid driving too fast, but also, they should avoid driving too slow. Senior drivers have a tendency to drive slower and they can cause trouble for other traffic participants. Seniors should compare their driving speed with posted limits frequently and they should try to maintain a steady amount of acceleration.
  • Senior should have their vision checked periodically. Senior drivers should have their vision checked yearly. Eye doctors can detect and correct many vision issues such as cataracts with fairly simple outpatient surgery. Some vision conditions are degenerative, which means they will not get better. These include glaucoma and macular degeneration.
