Care and consideration should be taken as drivers get older. With our toolkit, you can better talk with them about the impacts of aging on their driving.
Should You Request a DMV Medical Review?
If you are concerned a person may be unable to safely drive, you can request a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) medical review. Concerning conditions range from a driver with vision impairments to a driver who is heavily medicated. All reports of impaired drivers must include the following information:
Impaired driver information, such as name, address and date of birth
Specific concerns or reasons for the report with examples
Driver’s physical condition or mental description
Submitter’s name, address and telephone number
Rad Driver
Studies show that increasing your strength and agility can help your driving skills. Virginia Rad Driver’s Totally 80s at-home workout help you build coordination, flexibility, and strength in the muscles you use most while driving.
We're Working to Keep Older Drivers Safe
While most older drivers may be good drivers, there are physical changes that come with aging. These changes can affect our ability to drive safely. Virginia GrandDriver gives senior Virginians and their families suggestions to improve driving skills and provides resources that will help older drivers compensate for age-related changes. That way they can stay on the road as safely as possible, for as long as possible.
