- Keep fit - physical fitness improves strength and flexibility
- Get regular eye and hearing tests - your GP can advise how often these should be
- Understand the effects of the medicines you are taking - ask your doctor for advice about any that may cause problems
- Check your blood sugar levels - if you have diabetes and have problems controlling your blood sugar, check your blood sugar levels before you drive
- Consider getting an automatic vehicle
- Avoid alcohol when driving - it has a greater effect on older drivers
All the time you can keep driving safely, you should. But be careful if you think your abilities are becoming too badly affected by ageing, medical conditions or medicine.
