Driving errors are increasingly linked to dementia in older adults. This review examines research on dementia and driving, aiding in relicensing and screening for driving risks, especially for Alzheimer's disease patients.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Neurology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Anecdotal evidence suggests a link between dementia and driving errors in seniors.
  • Limited empirical research previously documented this association.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically review existing research on dementia and driving.
  • To discuss the application of this research to practical issues like driver relicensing.
  • To explore screening methods for identifying driving risks in individuals with dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of empirical studies on dementia and driving.
  • Analysis of research findings related to cognitive decline and driving performance.
  • Discussion of clinical and policy implications.

Main Results:

  • Growing empirical evidence supports the association between dementia and driving impairments.
  • Challenges exist in applying research findings to relicensing decisions.
  • Development of screening procedures for driving risk in dementia patients is ongoing.

Conclusions:

  • The link between dementia and driving errors is empirically supported.
  • Practical application of research for relicensing and screening requires further development.
  • Early identification of driving risks in dementia patients is crucial for safety.
