We found significant associations with a 5-year increase in agefor several driving behaviors (Table 2). Older drivers tended toshow more indirectly unsafe driving behaviors and driving-relatedbehaviors: ‘‘My family, children, and friends worry about my driving’’ (OR for a 5-year increase in age = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.06–1.31),‘‘I consult my doctor or pharmacist to determine whether themedication I am taking will affect my driving performance’’ (1.43,1.22–1.70), and ‘‘I have my eyesight examined regularly’’ (1.16,1.04–1.29). The following four items of directly unsafe drivingbehaviors were also more likely to be reported with aging: ‘‘Thereare times when I cannot respond immediately to a dangeroussituation’’ (1.38, 1.18–1.63), ‘‘There are times when I do not payattention to the people on the pavement, obstacles, and other cars’’(1.33, 1.12–1.60), ‘‘There are times when I have difficulties drivingsmoothly along a curved road’’ (1.33, 1.09–1.65), and ‘‘There aretimes when I forget to give a turn signal or I give the wrong signal’’(1.33, 1.06–1.69). In contrast, ‘‘There are times when I am given atraffic ticket or a warning’’ (0.70, 0.52–0.91) and ‘‘There are timeswhen I get nervous or agitated when driving’’ (0.80, 0.69–0.93)were significantly associated with decreasing age.
