    There has been studies that show. Anyone with mini-mental score of 25/30 are impaired drivers.
    I have been medically assessing drivers for the State regarding licensing for over 30 and experience bears it out. But to be fair to the driver’s they have the option to undergo a 1 hour on road driving test with a driver assessment trained occupational therapist.

    I have had a markedly demented taxi driver pass this on road test as an extremely safe driver – but his family vociferously complained he didn’t know where he was going and got lost whenever he got behind the wheel of the car. I advised them that was a family matter as far as the State was concerned he was safe on the roads. They had to sort out the social situation – such as hiding the keys or selling the car – it wasn’t a regulatory matter.
