What will the CanDRIVE program do to make roads safer?
The CanDRIVE program is looking at alternatives to loss of driving privileges such as retraining and de-graduated licensing. The ultimate goal is to help keep safe older drivers driving’ . Regrettably, there will always be a small minority of older drivers whose medical and functional conditions have progressed to the point where they can no longer drive safely and where they can no longer benefit from retraining or customized (de-graduated) licensing. By developing screening tools that identify this minority at the earliest possible time, we hope to prevent collisions and improve the safety record of all older drivers. Customized licensing is a way to extend driving period. Retraining provides refresher information and information on adapting driving style.
