Four Signs of Unsafe Driving
By Connie Matthiessen, Caring.com senior editor
Watch for these signs that an older adult you're close to is becoming a dangerous driver:
- Find out if his auto insurance rates have increased recently or if he has received traffic tickets or warnings.
- Check to see if his car has new dents or nicks.
- Pay attention if the older adult is reluctant to drive at night, seems tense or exhausted after driving, or complains of getting lost.
- Discreetly check in with friends and neighbors and ask if they've noticed any driving problems.
