BDifficulty 1/5

If an older person has slower reflexes, what demand in a complex situation may especially hinder their response?

Correct answer

The need to react quickly.

The need to react quickly. Slower reflexes mean a longer response time, not a shorter reaction time. Older people do not all have the same abilities: health and fitness to drive require individual assessment. Difficulties can affect different manoeuvres, not automatically only turns or overtaking. Allowing more safety margin and anticipating helps but does not replace medical assessment when problems occur.
