THINGS YOU CAN DO TO MAKE YOUR DRIVING SAFER
- Check with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure current and new medications will not negatively affect your ability to drive. Over-the-counter drugs and combinations of drugs can also impair your driving.
- Report to your doctor:
* vision changes, unexplained dizziness or fainting spells;
* frequent, chronic or severe pain.
- Avoid driving if you're experiencing pain, because it can decrease your ability to concentrate and limit your movement behind the whell.
- Have your hearing and eyes checked regularly. Peripheral vision and depth perception tend to decline over the years.
- Your doctor can recommend an exercise program to improve flexibility and maintain strength, which can help your ability to drive safely.
