On the other hand, they face the same dilemma themselves in the not-too-distant future\u2026 How old is too old to drive?<\/p>\n<p>According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), one in every five licensed drivers in this country will be 65 or older by 2025. This phenomenon is caused by the size of the aging Baby Boomer demographic. The total number of senior citizen drivers will rise from 30 million in 2010 to nearly 60 million by the year 2030, the GAO estimates.<\/p>\n<p>Even if only one in 10 of those drivers presents a hazard, that&#8217;s still 6 million drivers nationwide who are a threat to themselves and others.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-692\" style=\"margin: 15px;\" title=\"Baby Boomers must know when to step in to stop their older driver parents from taking the road.\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.edrugstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Old-Driver-Man-in-Red-300x157.jpg\" alt=\"Baby Boomers must know when to step in to stop their older driver parents from taking the road.\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" \/>That means Baby Boomers will eventually confront the reality they&#8217;re facing now with their parents: Who should and should not be allowed to continue to drive?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aarp.org\/home-garden\/transportation\/info-05-2010\/Warning_Signs_Stopping.html\">AARP<\/a> offers the following reasons for taking, or turning in, the keys:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Almost crashing, with frequent &#8220;close calls&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Finding dents and scrapes on the car, on fences, mailboxes, garage doors, curbs, or the like<\/li>\n<li>Getting lost<\/li>\n<li>Having trouble seeing or following traffic signals, road signs, and pavement markings<\/li>\n<li>Responding more slowly to unexpected situations, or having trouble moving a foot from the gas to the brake pedal; confusing the two pedals<\/li>\n<li>Misjudging gaps in traffic at intersections and on highway entrance and exit ramps<\/li>\n<li>Experiencing road rage or having other drivers frequently honk at you<\/li>\n<li>Easily becoming distracted or having difficulty concentrating while driving<\/li>\n<li>Having a hard time turning around to check over your shoulder while backing up or changing lanes<\/li>\n<li>Receiving traffic tickets or &#8220;warnings&#8221; from traffic or law enforcement officers in the last year or two.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And if it comes down to making a decision, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caring.com\/older-drivers\">Caring.com<\/a>, which specializes in care giving issues, advises the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-693 alignright\" style=\"margin: 15px;\" title=\"Old Driver Man - Baby Boomers must look after their parents if they can no longer drive.\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.edrugstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Old-Driver-Man-300x258.jpg\" alt=\"Old Driver Man - Baby Boomers must look after their parents if they can no longer drive.\" width=\"300\" height=\"258\" \/>If a senior with diminishing driving skills is unwilling to stop driving when it is apparent to others that it is necessary, then someone needs to step in and make the decision for them. You may feel guilty for having to take the steps necessary to assure that your loved one stops driving, but it may be a matter of life and death, and the decision should not be avoided.<\/li>\n<li>It is generally more emotionally difficult for men to stop driving than for women. You can&#8217;t talk the person out of their reactions, which are totally understandable from their perspective, even though they may be painful for you to tolerate. You need to listen with empathy and an open heart to the effect of this loss on this person.<\/li>\n<li>It may be easier for a respected professional, such as the doctor, or family friend, to inform the person of the end of his driving career. This may feel more comfortable to the family who will be the receivers of the feelings of anger, loss, and even betrayal.<\/li>\n<li>If necessary you may have to hide the keys, disable or even sell the car to prevent the person from driving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There is a belief that so-called brain training can help the cognitive skills related to driving a car.<\/p>\n<p>A new study published in the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.americangeriatrics.org\/\">Journal of the American Geriatrics Society\u00a0<\/a>(JAGS) contends that the right kind of brain training can produce cognitive improvements that transfer to real-world skills.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1532-5415.2010.03138.x\/abstract\">study found<\/a> that older drivers who completed 10 sessions of speed-of-processing training or reasoning training had an approximately 50 percent reduction in at-fault motor-vehicle collisions (MVC) compared to the control group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsidering the importance of driving mobility and the cost of crashes, cognitive training has great potential to sustain independence and quality of life in older adults,\u201d said Dr. Jerri Edwards, Associate Professor of Aging Studies at the University of South Florida, and co-author of the paper. \u201cBut importantly, this study provides further evidence that the right kind of brain training program can generalize to improve real-world activities among older adults.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Paul Briand, journalist and Baby Boomer expert<\/strong><br \/>\nAbout the Author<br \/>\nPaul Briand spent 33 years in newspaper journalism.
