Correct answer
Reduced vision and hearing.
Reduced vision and hearing can make perceiving signs, vehicles or other warnings harder. Effects vary between individuals, and older age alone does not establish dangerous driving. Fitness depends on individual condition, illness, treatment and functional capabilities. A longer reaction time means taking longer to respond; a shorter reaction time means a faster response, not an automatic loss of ability.
