A few warning signs: incorrect signaling • trouble navigating turns • moving into a wrong lane • confusion at exits • hitting curbs • driving at inappropriate speeds • not anticipating dangerous situations Caregivers often find it helpful to seek support from professionals outside the family. Healthcare professionals may be more likely to discuss driving issues with a patient if a caregiver has met with them privately and shared observations of driving behavior. Physicians will often write a prescription to stop driving. An occupational therapy driving assessment may also be suggested.
