Abstract
- The article focuses on Canadian initiatives on driving competency among older patients. It states that the family driving agreements of Keeping Us Safe allow older drivers to designate a companion to inform them when to stop driving. It says that a paper by Paige Moorhouse and colleagues has found that 30% of Canadians with dementia still drive despite their condition. It also discusses the Independent Transportation Network America program that allows people to trade vehicles to pay for rides.
