How should doctors decide when a senior driver’s license should be reviewed? Doctors are expected to report people who have a medical condition that prevents them from being able to drive safely. But the line between fit and unfit to drive is difficult to define, especially for seniors with multiple cognitive, sensory and/or physical issues. And as baby boomers age, doctors will increasingly have to weigh the safety of their patient and others, with their patient’s desire for independence and mobility.

Joe Saltarski, an 89-year-old who lost his license earlier this year, thinks the current way doctors test senior drivers is unfair. A former bus driver, he’d only had one minor accident in his life. At age 87, he drove across the country to move closer to his son in Chilliwack, British Columbia.

“I pretty near laughed,” says Saltarski. Based on the results from that doctor’s office test, Saltarski was referred to the Ministry of Transportation and was required to do a road test. He failed that test because the examiner said he exceeded the speed limit in a school zone (which Saltarski disputes). And when he took a second test, the examiner failed him for driving too slow.

“You can’t win for losing,” says Saltarski. Due to the failed tests, Saltarski no longer has a license.

He misses being able to go shopping or to the barber on his own, but the psychological blow of losing his license has hit him the hardest. “I feel like I’m going downhill,” he says. When doctors recommend a patient not drive, it can seriously damage a doctor-patient relationship. “Some patients don’t go back to a doctor who has recommended they don’t drive,” says Chris Frank, a geriatrician and palliative care doctor in Kingston, Ontario.

It can also have negative repercussions for patients. “They feel they’re a bother to everyone if they ask for rides,” says Carol Libman, a consultant with CARP Canada, a seniors advocacy organization. “Isolation is one of the worst things. People get depressed,” she explains.

In other cases, however, family members have been pleading with their loved one not to get behind the wheel, to no avail, and appreciate a decision from an objective authority. When Frank recommended a male patient not drive last week, for example, “his wife was very relieved,” he says.
