Summary: 

This study looked at a field sample of 4,234 Maryland drivers, 55 years of age and older. A performance-based assessment showed that cognitive functioning had direct effects on both driving exposure and driving avoidance; physical functioning did not have a direct effect on driving exposure or avoidance.
