N2 - This study surveyed older drivers with Alzheimer's disease (AD), collaterals familiar with the patient's driving, and a control group for the purpose of obtaining information about driving habits and plans for driving cessation. Drivers with dementia are at a greater risk for getting lost and having crashes than other older drivers. Family members are concerned about crashes to the extent that they are trying to prevent the AD driver from driving. Despite their concerns, many AD drivers and their families have not made plans for driving cessation. These results can assist health care professionals in developing approaches to assist AD drivers and their families as they make the transition to non-driving status.
