CHANGES TO YOUR DRIVING BEHAVIOR CHAPTER 1

Common Driving Errors

Taking into consideration what we learned about the
impact aging has on safe driving skills, these can be the
most common problem areas on the roadway:

▶ Making left turns

▶ Driving at night, in bad weather, and/or rain

▶ Merging into traffic

▶ Changing lanes

▶ Yielding to traffic

▶ Following traffic signals

▶ Driving under the influence of medications, drugs, or
alcohol

For more information and available resources to help
you avoid these errors and keep you safe while driving,
go to Chapter 3.

TIP

As we age it can become more
difficult to accurately judge time and
speed of oncoming vehicles. If uncomfortable

making left turns, consider making three right turns
to get you where you need to go.
