A shorter attention span can cause them to “feel overwhelmed by all the signs, signals, pedestrians and vehicles at intersections” (“Older Drivers”), making them very stressed, it is therefore easier to make driving errors, especially in heavy traffic. Decreased reflexes and reaction times are due to muscle stiffening or loss. As a result, it may be more difficult for them to turn their heads to look for other vehicles to change lanes; and the stiffening of their ankle muscles will prevent them from switching quickly from the accelerator to the brake, which will prevent them from stopping quickly to avoid hitting another vehicle or any obstacle that may be in the road. Additionally, stiffness or weakness in arm muscles may prevent them from “turning the wheel quickly” (“older drivers”), unable to swerve to avoid anything. All of these factors combined do not help if an elderly person ends up hydroplaning or slipping on ice because they will not be able to react in time, causing them to lose control and eventually
