Book Description

October 31, 2006

It's no secret that our population is aging. In fact, it won't be long before one in four drivers will be over the age of 65. Research suggests we'll outlive our ability to drive by almost ten years—but knowing when to stop or limit driving isn't always clear.

The Driving Dilemma is a comprehensive resource for older drivers and their families facing questions about driving safety. Dr. Dugan provides clear, useful information about the effects of age, medical conditions, and medications on driving. She offers practical advice on how to discuss this issue with loved ones. Such talks can be difficult, and the book provides not only the facts, but also a research-based approach to communication, with useful sample dialogue scripts that will help you discuss driving with your loved ones. Also included are state-by-state listings of available resources, making this book a total information source for families.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference guide, November 6, 2006
This review is from: The Driving Dilemma: The Complete Resource Guide for Older Drivers and Their Families (Paperback)
I purchased this book after seeing an interview with the author on Good Morning America last week. I have reason to suspect that my dad may be nearing the end of his driving career. After reading the Driving Dilemma, I feel much better about broaching this very delicate subject with my Dad. Dr. Dugan offers a very practical and conscientious way of evaluating driving skills. The premise of involving an older driver in the evaluation, discussion and decision making process is made easy with this reference guide.



If you're facing this challenge with a loved one, or know of someone who is - then reading this book will make an anxiety ridden process so much easier. I highly recommend this reference guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to have "the conversation" about driving, March 25, 2011
By 
As an elder law attorney, many of my clients and their families struggle with the issue of driving. The author is well versed in issues that affect a senior's ability to see, think, or move, and can walk the family through how to assess, plan, talk and act.
