- W2047736044 abstract "Road safety and continuation of driving is increasingly becoming a priority issue for Australians, particularly as the rate of individuals entering the older age group is progressively rising. A uniform national approach to licence renewal based on evidence-based assessment is likely to be introduced across states in the near future. The purpose of this paper is to explore the issues that may arise in the transition to the new process. Forty-four adults over the ages of 65 years were interviewed. Over half the participants were drivers with the remaining having ceased driving within two years of the interviews. In addition, over half of the participants were residents within metropolitan areas in Brisbane, with the remaining residing in rural towns in Queensland. The results highlight the current lack of significant interaction between older drivers, their family, doctors and transport officials regarding driving assessment issues. In order to introduce an interactive system, considerable work will need to be done in order to actively engage older drivers in the process. Progression on our grey roads 3 Progression on our grey roads: A response to the proposed National Licence Re-Assessment Program for older drivers. With the proportion of older licence-holders expected to double within the next twenty years, in line with predicted older population growth, questions have been raised regarding the capacity of the current driver strategies to satisfactorily maintain the mobility needs of older drivers. At present, state authorities govern older driver re-licensing in Australia, employing a range of techniques that in practise, often fail to provide an accurate evaluation of a driver’s fitness or ability to drive. That is, medical tests may not adequately identify cognitive or functional impairment and re-licensing or screening tests are mainly subjective, or do not adequately account for potential driver rehabilitation or re-training. Consequently, the current system may overlook “at-risk” drivers or generate a fear of licensing authorities that invokes premature driving. However in order to more effectively meet the needs of older drivers and the community, a national licensing scheme has been proposed by Fildes, Pronk, Langford, Hull, Anderson and Frith (1999). This proposed national scheme provides a model for driver screening, assessment and rehabilitation (or re-training) aimed at assisting older drivers to maintain safe driving capacities. This study is a qualitative research project that investigated the experiences of a group of older drivers and ex-drivers from metropolitan and rural areas, with regard to driving and driving cessation within the current system in Queensland; and considers whether licensing authorities and the community, provide an environment that facilitates older driver mobility. The participant stories highlight a range of issues, both positive and negative, that may prevail if a uniform national approach is implemented in Australia. The purpose of this paper is to explore issues that may arise in the transition from a largely non-participatory system to a participatory, or community-based system. A better understanding of these processes in turn, may assist transport authorities to develop strategies that might better prepare older drivers for the transition." @default.
