(HealthDay News) -- People with dementia may no longer be able
to drive safely. Recognizing this may be a very difficult
conclusion, the U.S. National Library of Medicine says.
The agency says these symptoms indicate that a person with
dementia is no longer safe behind the wheel:
- Difficulty remembering things that happened recently.
- Showing a sudden temper and general moodiness.
- Difficulty multi-tasking.
- Having a hard time judging distances.
- Problems with decision making and problem solving.
- Becoming easily confused.
