Abstract

This article examines the importance of Screening and cognitive assessment of Elderly drivers in renewing their driving licenses. Given the increasing Elderly population in Iran and the world, driving safety of this group has become an important issue, because the natural decline in cognitive abilities with age can negatively affect driving performance. In this regard, many countries have addressed this issue by implementing mandatory examinations and issuing conditional licenses, but in Iran, there is still no systematic system for cognitive Screening of the Elderly. Various studies show that 1) a decrease in cognitive abilities, especially processing speed, selective attention, planning, and cognitive flexibility, is most closely related to driving violations in the Elderly. 2) Regular cognitive assessment can help reduce accidents and improve driving safety, 3) localization of cognitive Screening methods and conducting national studies to adapt these methods to the cultural and social conditions of Iran are essential. Finally, 4) developing alternative transportation options for seniors who are no longer able to drive safely will contribute to community safety by maintaining their independence.
