Mayo Clinic Minute: The road to safe driving for older Americans

All drivers will eventually face the day when they need to put their driving days in the rearview mirror.

Dr. Ericka Tung, a Mayo Clinic geriatrician, says physicians are in the unique position to help their older patients determine whether or not it's safe to keep driving.

Dr. Tung encourages seniors to be open to the discussion and view "driving retirement" as a normal part of aging.

"Driving retirement" doesn't sound so bad till you consider that 98% of the United States is inaccessible unless you have a car and can drive it.
