The Warning Signs
It is important for everyone to recognize the following
warning signs to help determine when it may be
necessary to limit or stop driving:

▶ Being more uncomfortable, nervous, and/or fearful
while driving

▶ Having difficulty staying in your travel lane

▶ Getting lost in familiar places

▶ Having trouble paying attention to signals, road signs,
and pavement markings
▶ Slowing down when responding to unexpected
driving situations

▶ Being diagnosed with medical conditions

▶ Taking medications that may be affecting your ability
to safely handle your car
▶ Experiencing close calls such as almost crashing

▶ Finding dents and scrapes on the car or on fences,
mailboxes, garage doors, curbs, etc.

▶ Having trouble judging gaps in traffic at intersections
and on entrance/exit ramps
▶ Having other drivers honking at you

I don’t feel confident behind the
wheel on main highways in a lot of
traffic.
