The car keys conversation is one of the hardest a family can have. Starting early makes all the difference.
A few things every Canadian family should know:
→ 82% of Canadians aged 65+ still hold a driver’s licence, and most seniors continue driving safely well into their 80s.
→ In most provinces, physicians are legally required to report patients whose health may affect their driving.
→ Watch for the signs. These can include traffic tickets, slower reaction times, collisions or near misses, avoiding highways, avoiding night driving or bad weather, and increased insurance premiums.
→ Plan B is better than ever. Accessible transit, rideshare, community ride programs, and in-home companion care all help seniors stay mobile and connected.
The keys may change hands. The life behind them doesn’t have to slow down.
