To this end, a sample of 90 adults aged between 60 and 91 completed a questionnaire about their driving behavior, a battery of functional tests, and a structured on road test. Comparisons were made between the functional tests most strongly related to on-road driving performance and the functional tests most strongly related to self regulation. Self-reported avoidance of difficult driving situations was used as an index of self-regulation of driving behavior. It was concluded that self-regulation of driving behavior is inadequate among older drivers with poor contrast sensitivity, poor speed of information processing and poor visuospatial ability. | | Journal Title | Clinical Gerontologist | | Journal Volume (Issue) | 30(1) | | Page Range | 53-70 | | Page Count | 18 | | Notes | available from CASR library on request |
