Problem
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?
