Older Drivers
Fastest growing segment of the driving population
Driving is important for maintaining independence and well-being
Driving cessation associated with:• Isolation & depression• Functional impairment• Transition into care

Driving in Later Life
Older drivers speed less Older drivers less likely to drink and drive Distance adjusted crash rates are highest for
youngest and older drivers• Exponential increase after age 75, especially
for males

Age‐Related Changes
Visual function• Visual impairment increases with age
Physical functioning• Increased prevalence of systemic disease• Physical frailty, joint stiffness
Cognitive abilities• Reaction time slowing• Difficulty with divided attention tasks,
integrating information and planning

Cognitive abilities required for safe drivingVisual Selective Attention
- how well a person can select and attend to relevant information
Processing speed- how quickly a person can comprehend a situation and take in the relevant information
Visual search- the ability to scan a scene for vital information
![Page 10: Cognitive and sensory factors associated with safe driving · 2014-07-13 · Cognitive and sensory factors associated with safe driving Professor KaarinAnstey Dementia Collaborative](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042112/5e8e02dec07f855d365fc57a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Working memoryThe capacity to hold information in mind while processing it – the capacity to ‘dual task’
Reaction timeThe time it takes to respond to a stimulus –can be measured in foot or hand
Executive function – the capacity to use all relevant information to plan a response, and plan ahead and use strategies – higher level thinking
![Page 11: Cognitive and sensory factors associated with safe driving · 2014-07-13 · Cognitive and sensory factors associated with safe driving Professor KaarinAnstey Dementia Collaborative](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042112/5e8e02dec07f855d365fc57a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Insight or self awareness
This is a type of cognitive ability Affected by dementia May be the most important factor that affects
driving risk No standard assessment
![Page 12: Cognitive and sensory factors associated with safe driving · 2014-07-13 · Cognitive and sensory factors associated with safe driving Professor KaarinAnstey Dementia Collaborative](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042112/5e8e02dec07f855d365fc57a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Screening vs Assessment
Driver Screening• Brief test of factors/abilities related to safe
driving• Can be applied at population level• Brief, often desk-based
Driver Assessment• Test of actual driving abilities (on-road or
simulated)• Longer, and requires qualified assessor
(often OTs)
![Page 13: Cognitive and sensory factors associated with safe driving · 2014-07-13 · Cognitive and sensory factors associated with safe driving Professor KaarinAnstey Dementia Collaborative](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042112/5e8e02dec07f855d365fc57a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Screening Measures
Methodological Considerations• Validation Tests must validly distinguish between
those who are safe and unsafe Sample must be representative of target
population Practical Considerations
• Duration (5-10 minutes)• Administration (easy to use and interpret)• Equipment (cost, space requirements)• Cultural & Linguistic factors
![Page 14: Cognitive and sensory factors associated with safe driving · 2014-07-13 · Cognitive and sensory factors associated with safe driving Professor KaarinAnstey Dementia Collaborative](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042112/5e8e02dec07f855d365fc57a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Current Screening Measures
No difference in older driver accident & fatality rates between states with and without mandatory screening requirements (Langford, Bohensky, Koppel & Newstead, 2008)
Burden of responsibility on medical practitioners, and on families, carers and drivers themselves
![Page 15: Cognitive and sensory factors associated with safe driving · 2014-07-13 · Cognitive and sensory factors associated with safe driving Professor KaarinAnstey Dementia Collaborative](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042112/5e8e02dec07f855d365fc57a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Useful Field of View®
Developed by Karlene Ball and colleagues in USA in mid-1980s
Originally, ‘the visual area in which information can be acquired’ (Ball, Beard, Roenker, Miller, & Griggs, 1988)
One of the best lab-based predictors of older drivers’ accidents and on-road performance
Recent focus on training & intervention

ACT Older Driver Hazard Perception Study
Hazard perception is a critical ability for safe driving
Easily assessed using video-based screening measures
Most older adults have good hazard perception skills, but it may be related to unsafe driving for some.
Hazard perception tests are part of young driver licensing procedures, but nothing for older drivers
![Page 30: Cognitive and sensory factors associated with safe driving · 2014-07-13 · Cognitive and sensory factors associated with safe driving Professor KaarinAnstey Dementia Collaborative](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042112/5e8e02dec07f855d365fc57a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Hazard Perception Test
Participants respond to videos of naturally occurring traffic hazards by touching the hazard on a large touchscreen monitor
![Page 31: Cognitive and sensory factors associated with safe driving · 2014-07-13 · Cognitive and sensory factors associated with safe driving Professor KaarinAnstey Dementia Collaborative](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042112/5e8e02dec07f855d365fc57a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Conclusion Dementia related changes in cognition, vision
and general motor control will affect the capacity to drive safely
Need for better screening, assessment Need for planning for driving cessation
