Tip of the Day | Safe Driving | Daytona Beach Nursing Home Injury Lawyer

Problems that frequently affect older people -- such as changes in vision, arthritis or problems with memory -- should lead some seniors to conclude that they can no longer drive safely.

The American Academy of Family Physicians says if you or loved ones have noticed a lapse in your driving skills, you should consider:

• Restricting driving only to certain times, such as during daylight hours.
• Working with an occupational or physical therapist.
• Adding devices to your car that can help you drive more safely, such as wider mirrors.
• Quitting driving altogether, and relying on friends, family or public transportation for rides.
