What Are the Alternatives?
Experts recommend that seniors begin planning for driving limitations before it becomes an issue. Community transport services, ride-sharing apps, and family assistance are some of the options that can help older adults maintain mobility without putting themselves or others at risk.
Some advocates are calling for advanced car technology, such as night vision cameras, lane assist, and automated braking, to help seniors drive safely at night instead of banning them outright.
What Happens Next?
The law is still in the proposal stage and will undergo public hearings before any final decision is made. If passed, it could go into effect within the next year.
Whether you support or oppose the idea, one thing is clear: the conversation about seniors and driving safety is far from over. As the population ages, more communities will need to find solutions that balance independence with public safety.
