| Annotation | Being able to drive is important to many older people, and geriatricians have many of the skills necessary to enhance safety in mobility. A small but growing literature on the older driver supports the concept that age-related disease may interfere with the ease and safety of using many modes of transport. The data also suggests that there are many interventions that can ameliorate the impact od disease on driving ability. This review considers positive and negative views on medical fitness to drive; strategies for assessing and screening for risk and fitness; and alternatives when driving is no longer possible.
