10 Signs That It May Be Time for Your Loved One to Turn in Their Keys

Driving is something that most people love to do as it symbolizes freedom and independence. However, for most of us, there will come a time when we will have to stop driving, either temporarily or permanently. One of the most common times that driving is limited is in old age, when the driver is unable to operate a motor vehicle in a safe manner and is at a greater risk of causing a Pennsylvania or New Jersey auto accident.

If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in a Philadelphia car crash, be sure to order your FREE copy of How to Maximize Your Pennsylvania Car Accident Case Before an Insurance Company Takes Advantage of You, written especially for victims of Pennsylvania and New Jersey auto accidents by the Bucks County personal injury attorneys at Saile & Saile.

Bringing up the subject of limiting or discontinuing driving with a loved one can be a very touchy subject; however, it is a subject that you need to talk about for the safety of your loved one as well as others on the roadway. Try to ride with your elderly loved ones periodically and watch for these warning signs that it may be time for them to turn in the keys:

Frequent crashes, fender benders or close calls
Scrapes or dents in the car, mailbox, fences or curbs
Getting lost in familiar places
Responding slowly to unexpected situations, such as a sudden stop in traffic
Misjudging the time or space needed to turn across traffic
Confusing the gas and brake pedals
Difficulty seeing traffic signals or signs
Riding the brake
Failure to notice pedestrians, bicyclists or other vehicles
Difficulty seeing the instrument panel
