In a letter to the editor in a newspaper, the writer stated that "People over 96 years old should not be driving anymore. They should not be given a driver's license after
that age."
Explain why you either agree or disagree with this statement. Think about what
you have learned about the aging process, sensory changes, changes in reaction
times, and changes in memory/cognition when answering. Also consider the
potential for ageism in the views of elderly drivers.
What role should psychologists who focus on late adulthood play in the drafting
and implementation of laws concerning aging drivers?
