New York Senior Driving Resources


As people age, certain changes take place in their bodies such as decreased vision, impaired hearing, and delayed motor skills that may allow for poor driving habits. Being a senior does not mean one must stop driving; it is important to know the risk facts and warning signs that come with increased age and driving. The following links provide resources for seniors and their families to learn more about seniors and driving, as well as references to Driver Rehabilitation Specialists (DRS) who may assist seniors who wish to have their driving evaluated. If you wish to consider assessing your driving, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles has a webpage for senior driver assessment. For caregivers, the New York State Office for the Aging has a handbook that addresses caregiver concerns with seniors and driving.
