The time may come when many <strong>of</strong> us will have to limit<br />

or stop driving. Most drivers monitor themselves and<br />

gradually limit or stop driving when they feel they are<br />

no longer safe. Others may have a medical condition<br />

(<strong>for</strong> example, dementia or an early stage <strong>of</strong> Alzheimer’s<br />

disease) which prevents them from recognizing that their<br />

driving abilities have diminished. Some fear the loss <strong>of</strong><br />

independence.<br />
