Driving and Dementia

Over time, dementia may cause changes that affect a person’s
ability to safely drive a motor vehicle. However, a dementia
diagnosis does not automatically mean that a person is incapable
of driving. Some people may be capable of driving safely for
some time after the diagnosis, depending on the timing of the
diagnosis and how quickly dementia progresses. In this session
we will explore ways to continue driving safely, some of the
warning signs that it may be time to stop driving, and tips for
transitioning to life without driving.
