Samenvatting
Road conditions may have a significant impact on the ability of elders to continue to drive safely. To explore the relationship of these conditions to driving patterns, forty participants from Western New York (WNY) and North Florida (NFl) answered questions about driving and conditions they avoid. Although they drove more, 60 percent of WNY participants altered their driving during the winter while 20% of NFl altered their driving due to the different seasons. WNY participants drove more both in terms of distance driven per week, and frequency of driving trips. (Author/publisher)
