Self-reported medication use and on-road driving performance of older drivers

This study examined the relationship between self-reported medication use and performance on an on-road driving test in a sample of older drivers. Specifically, the aim was to ascertain whether older drivers who were taking a higher number of prescription medications demonstrated poorer driving performance. This study was conducted as part of a larger study investigating the self-regulation of driving habits by older drivers.
