Annotation89 older drivers with Parkinson's disease (PD) were compared with a control group of 423 community-living older drivers. Compared to control subjects, PD drivers were more likely to have reduced their driving over the previous 5 years, and had significantly more accidents. Families of PD drivers expressed greater concern about patient driving. Given the complexities concerning driving and PD, social workers are responsible for providing emotional and practical support to their PD clients and family members. (RH).
