There are differences between elderly drivers and younger drivers in that the elderly are more likely to have cognitive, motor and sensoriperceptual deficits affecting their driving performance. The elderly driver is more likely to have a chronic illness and to be on medication, that might adversely affect driving. The elderly driver requires more study and help either by retraining or provision of adaptations to vehicles. Fitness to drive is of clinical importance to doctors in most specialities and recent studies would suggest that doctors need to be more aware of the current guidelines on driving and be prepared to offer advice.
老年驾驶员与年轻驾驶员存在差异，因为老年人更有可能出现影响其驾驶表现的认知、运动和感觉知觉缺陷。老年驾驶员更有可能患有慢性疾病并正在服药，这可能会对驾驶产生不利影响。老年驾驶员需要更多的研究以及通过再培训或提供车辆改装来获得帮助。对大多数专业的医生来说，驾驶适宜性具有临床重要性，最近的研究表明医生需要更了解当前的驾驶指南，并准备好提供建议。
