Does statistical evidence exist to suggest that driving with dementia is a problem?
Yes, there is enough small-scale research to tell us that over time, driving and dementia don’t mix. The harder question is exactly when driving skills deteriorate? This question is harder to answer and the research is not clear enough to give a simple answer. That is why we recommend an approach that includes observation of driving skills right from the point of diagnosis and planning ahead for the time when the person must stop driving.
