Document Summary

Transportation is a number one concern for old ppl gives them independence and they are not isolated. Study in ontario: found that a lot of old ppl are involved in collisions (but still less than 19 year olds) Ageism: saying that old ppl are licensed to kill . They have more collisions that other ppl based on how far they drive: they drive less kilometers, and they drive on the streets (not highways) Very devastating when they loose a license. For men, driving was a symbol of power and freedom so they are devastated more than women. Women who drove when they were in their 30"s were very independent so they have a loss of that too. Baby boomers have to drive their parents to doctor app"s now. If someone tells a senior they cant drive they would never be forgiven, bc driving is important to them.
