Elderly drivers offered road test option TOM FLETCHER Black Press
VICTORIA — Drivers more than 80 years old who fail a computerized test of their mental ability will now be offered a road test before they have to surrender their licences. Attorney General Shirley Bond announced the road test option after complaints from people who lost their driving privileges based on a computer test called DriveABLE. Some elderly people with little computer experience found the touch-screen tests of cognitive ability to be unfamiliar and an unfair way to test them. The DriveABLE test is administered on referral from doctors who detect cognitive impairment in patients that may affect their driving. Bond said those who failed the onscreen test in the past six months will be offered a free road test, using a test car with dual brakes. Those who failed more than six months ago have to see their doctor before being reassessed. NDP public safety critic Kathy
Corrigan was surprised to hear that the DriveABLE program is now being “peer reviewed,” a step that she said the government should have taken before the service was contracted for B.C. Corrigan said the road test option is a step in the right direction, but details of that haven’t been made public yet. The DriveABLE test uses a terminal with a touch screen to measure mental abilities. In the first stage, the driver holds down a button until a shape appears on either the left or right side of the screen. The subject has to release the button and touch the shape as quickly as possible, to test reaction time and accuracy of movement. Another stage tests ability to notice changes at the edge of the field of vision, simulating pedestrians and traffic signs. The test subject must make a decision about a word in the centre of the screen, and also report the location of a target that appears at the same time in a different area of the screen.
Fraud prevention helped CONTINUED FROM PAGE A21
“They changed the address subtly, so I couldn’t just hit reply anymore,” she said. “That’s when I got scared and went to the bank.” Her bank put her in touch with a fraud prevention officer, who reassured her that nobody could ac-
cess her account unless they had an 11-digit code, which she had not provided. The experience left Greaves disturbed but no poorer and she wants other seniors to know about her experience, so they don’t get taken in.
