Answer 1

Elder drivers are dangerous in some way, but can't tell they all are dangerous.

?elder drivers with vision problems is risk full.

the main problem in older driver is vision issues. As age increasing the power of eye may effect. So if driver have vision issues, then he can't concentrate in driving.

So if a driver with vision issues, can lead to public issues like accidents. So it is a hazard.as age increase, it occurs. So that can almost correct by using spex.but nothing every case, but spex it can't correct.

So by this way it will lead to risk for them also, risk for public also.

Limitations is only obeying traffic rules.

It can solve by using spex, if can't correct by that, they should not allow for drive.

?they have cognitive impairment, that will affect driving.

As age increasing persons will get memory issues. It can affect driving.

As memory issue have, they may get sometimes confusion on driving accessory. So it can lead to accidents.

They have only limitations, that is obey traffic rules. If they are obeying that also, the confusions like this will affect driving.

So by these type of disabilities chance of risks increading. Accidents, or harm to others happening.

They way of solution is, if the driver have any disability like this, then should not give licence to them.

?confusion is other problem

How much they are experienced also, as age increases confusion increasing.

So if he have confusion for cordinating driving, then it will lead to big issues.

Because if he not able for proper handling the situations in an emergency, then it may lead to accidents.

Limitations are obeying road traffic rules.

By these type of behavior road accidents can increase. Many of them will affect by this way.

Solution is, should not give licence to like that drivers.
