Senior Citizens and Driving
Given the decline in eyesight and reflexes that come with age, should seniors drive? Do these factors lead to less safety for other drivers on the road? What can seniors do to prevent isolation when they stop driving? Should seniors be screened more thoroughly than ordinary drivers? Should society balance safety concerns with the needs of seniors? This anthology looks at these issues from diverse perspectives. Readers learn about key ideas in the debate over public policy regarding driving and the place of seniors in the United States.
