A family guide to navigating later-life driving decisions

Elizabeth Dugan’s guide addresses the practical and interpersonal questions that arise when an older adult’s driving ability is in doubt. It brings together information on how aging, medical conditions, and medications can affect driving, while giving equal attention to the difficult conversations surrounding reduced or stopped driving. Sample dialogue scripts provide a structured way to approach discussions with loved ones, and the book includes state-by-state resource listings for further assistance. Framed as a comprehensive reference, it treats driving not only as a safety issue but also as a family decision tied to independence, health, and communication.

It's no secret that our population is aging. In fact, it won't be long before one in four drivers will be over the age of 65. Research suggests we'll outlive our ability to drive by almost ten years--but knowing when to stop or limit driving isn't always clear.

The Driving Dilemma is a comprehensive resource for older drivers and their families facing questions about driving safety. Dr. Dugan provides clear, useful information about the effects of age, medical conditions, and medications on driving. She offers practical advice on how to discuss this issue with loved ones. Such talks can be difficult, and the book provides not only the facts, but also a research-based approach to communication, with useful sample dialogue scripts that will help you discuss driving with your loved ones. Also included are state-by-state listings of available resources, making this book a total information source for families.
