Driving Experiences and Attitudes
The majority (94%) of adults 50 and older drive.
Over six in 10 (64%) say they worry about driving in the future.
AARPs mission is to enhance the quality of life for all as we age.
Older adults and their loved ones are often challenged with difficult conversations related to lifestyle changes as one ages.
Discussions about driving cessation are especially difficult as many see it as losing independence.
There are various tools, however, to help plan for and navigate these difficult conversations.
Methodology
The findings come from an AARP Omni online survey of 1,003 adults ages 50-plus in March 2024.
The national sample was weighted by age, gender, and race/ethnicity.
