Yang Fengquan, the coach of Ji'nan Yu Hao driving school, said. According to the statistics of Ji'nan vehicle management department, there are about one thousand new drivers aged 60 or above in Ji'nan about 10 new drivers every year. They may have practical needs, such as sending grandchildren, or enjoying the life. With the increase of the elderly drivers, reports about the accidents of the elderly drivers are often reported in the newspapers, such as the bump into pedestrians, the brakes on the sudden illness and the front car.
"the old man is not fit to be old, but his body is a hole." The police to the reporters, the police to the reporter, once people reach a certain age, the physical function begins to degenerate, and all aspects of the ability are not as good as before, and the sudden diseases such as heart disease will also affect driving safety.

Foreign research reports show that older drivers are more likely to crash at crossroads, especially two times more likely to have traffic accidents when they turn left.
reminding the elderly to drive more than two hours in a continuous drive, Li Xiaobin, deputy director of the traffic department of the Ji'nan Police Brigade, reminded the elderly that the elderly should take advantage of the peace of mind, drive carefully and avoid excitement when driving. Under normal circumstances, do not drive alone at night or in bad weather. If you have to drive alone, you must control the speed, drive on the slow lane, and leave enough space around you to avoid overtaking.
try to avoid driving when feeling low and irritable, and try not to rush on the rush hour.
