Is your Elderly Loved One Still a Safe Driver? Are you getting a little concerned about your elderly loved one’s ability to drive? It’s an inevitable fact of life that as we age, many of our abilities start to diminish. For some people, this might mean weaker bones or a decrease in stamina. But for many seniors, one of the hardest things to deal with is losing the ability to drive. As difficult as it may be to give up that independence, it’s important to remember that driving can be dangerous for elderly loved ones who might not be able to react as quickly in a crisis situation. So how do you know when it’s time to hang up the keys? Here are a few tips to deal with an elderly parent or loved one who might not be a safe driver anymore.

During Older Driver Safety Awareness Week (December 4–8, 2023), it's time to be reminded that simply getting older doesn’t mean it's time to hang up your keys, but to evaluate how our aging loved ones drive. It's important to monitor changes in the overall health of seniors as it relates to driving.

This post could help save the life of your child. Motor vehicle accidents are, unfortunately, the number one cause of death in children under the age of 14 in Canada. Car seats reduce fatality by 71%, however; if installed incorrectly car seats don’t prevent damages as well as they could in a car accident. This article outlines how to make sure your car seat is properly installed to protect your little one: https://lnkd.in/ezdCNdsi #carseat #cars #carseatbaby #baby #toddler #carseats #carseatsafety #babycarseat #safety #carsafety #newcarseat #safetyfirst

The World Health Organisation (WHO) have today published an article on Road Traffic Accidents around the world which provides key facts and information (https://lnkd.in/ek2ndzfR). It makes for an interesting read. Some key points and figures from the article: 👉 Approximately 1.9 million people die each year from road traffic accidents; 👉 Between 20 and 50 million more people suffer non-fatal injuries, with many incurring a disability; 👉 Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death for children and young adults aged 5–29 years; 👉 More than half of all road traffic deaths are among vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists; 👉 An increase in average speed is directly related both to the likelihood of a crash occurring and to the severity of the consequences of the crash. For example, every 1% increase in mean speed produces a 4% increase in the fatal crash risk and a 3% increase in the serious crash risk; 👉 The risk of death for pedestrians hit by car fronts rises rapidly (4.5 times from 50 km/h to 65 km/h); 👉 Correct helmet use can reduce the risk of death in a crash by more than 6 times and the risk of brain injury by up to 74%; 👉 Wearing a seat-belt can reduce the risk of death among vehicle occupants by up to 50%; 👉 The use of child restraints can lead to a 71% reduction in deaths among infants; 👉 Drivers using mobile phones are approximately 4 times more likely to be involved in a crash than drivers not using a mobile phone. The United Nations General Assembly has set a target of halving the global number of deaths caused by RTAs by 2030. It is important to be safe on the roads, not only to keep yourself safe, but also other passengers, road users and vulnerable road users (i.e. pedestrians). Barcan+Kirby have created a couple of blogs with the aim of increasing safety on the roads: ❗ Top tips for reducing accidents involving pedestrians (https://lnkd.in/ej62u7SC). ❗ 5 ways motorists can reduce cycling collisions (https://lnkd.in/eBSrPuRw). Stay safe everyone. #RoadSafety #RoadTrafficAccidents #CyclingAccidents #PedestrianAccidents #MotorcycleAccidents #PersonalInjury #WorldHealthOrganisation
