This booklet focuses on the particular issues which may arise when seeking consent from older people. The first part of this booklet concentrates on older people who have the capacity to accept or refuse treatment or care, while the second part gives guidance on how you should act if the person is not capable of making their own decisions. It should never be assumed that people are not able to make their own decisions, simply because of their age or frailty.

Based on these facts, I recommend a proposition that can help lower the number of car accidents. Older drivers should have to take and pass another drivers test because their alertness, vision, and reaction time may not be good enough to be a safe driver. If this happened, then it would take off the older drivers who are not able to drive safely and are a possible threat to other drivers. Being alert and knowing what is going on around you when driving is a good way to avoid car accidents.
