Aged
men a women, no matter how nice, do not like being told went to stop driving. They tend to protest. There are many wrecks that occur because of
senior citizens behind the wheel; usually they are the one at fault concerning
the wreck. Even so, these people do not
want to lose this right to drive, saying things like “I have never had a wreck”
and other things. They cannot fathom how
they would endure without driving.
Doctors,
usually, do not know whether their patient is physically, or more mentally, able
to drive. As people age, their reflexes
become feeble. Doctors, many of them at
least, do not usually run tests to see where their patient is mentally.
This is
a very interesting article, written by Associated Press. It focuses on procedures used by doctors to
tell if their patient should be driving and the risks of over-aged
drivers. It brings up statistics and has
quotes used to support its idea, should old people drive?
I found
this very interesting due to my own grandparents, who are well up in age,
driving. It always scares me to think
about it. This brought up some
interesting things to think about, personally and solely educationally. It is an article with a strong message and
purpose.
