As societies continue to age, the conversation around road safety and older adults will likely become even more important. Many older drivers value the independence, mobility, and freedom that driving provides, making it essential to approach the topic with sensitivity. At the same time, policymakers must consider how best to support safe driving for everyone on the road. Possible solutions include voluntary refresher courses, improved access to medical screenings, clearer guidelines for families and healthcare providers, and transportation alternatives for those who decide to retire from driving. By prioritizing both autonomy and safety, communities can work toward solutions that respect older adults while ensuring a secure road environment for all.
