By: Keeping Us Safe "Beyond Driving with Dignity; The workbook for the families of older drivers” is intended to help families confront the challenging and very sensitive issue of talking to a parent about a driving retirement. Designed for concerned families and geriatric professionals alike, the workbook employs easy-to-use checklists and exercises to help the user develop an objective picture of the older adult’s driving abilities. Observations are made in the areas of vision and hearing, memory, reflex and reaction times, medication, strength and flexibility as well as an actual driving exercise. Families are then provided with direction on how to effectively propose a driving retirement to their loved one (if appropriate) The workbook is very user-friendly as is designed to be used in the privacy and comfort of the family’s own home, without intimidating driving simulators or complex web-based programs. It is an easy book to read and work through, and one that anyone can understand. “The book was designed for one primary purpose; to save lives. It was purposely written in an understandable, easy to use format so that it can be worked by the family, at the family’s kitchen table” says author Matt Gurwell.
