Alzheimer and Vascular Dementias and Driving:A Prospective Road and Laboratory Study

Article Abstract
Based on this study,type and degree of cognitive impairment are better predictors of driving skills than age or medical diagnosis per se.Specific testing protocols for drivers with potential cognitive impairment may detect unsafe drivers more effectively than using age or medical diagnosis alone as criteria for license restriction or revocation.
