You have trouble recognizing or observing traffic signs or signals. You do not hear emergency sirens.
Everyone else seems to drive too fast or too slow. Others think you are driving at an inappropriate speed.
You have had some close calls recently. For example, do you need more time to make driving decisions or do your decisions seem to be poor ones afterwards? Do you misjudge gaps in traffic? Do some cars seem to “come out of nowhere” and surprise you? Do you get honked at more? Have you had several moving violations in the last three years?
You have physical difficulty driving. For instance, do you have trouble moving your foot from the gas to the brake? Do you have trouble turning to look over your shoulder? Do you take medications that cause drowsiness, dizziness, seizures, or blackouts?
You get angry or confused driving. For example, do intersections seem overwhelming with so much to watch? Do you forget how to drive to familiar places?
You feel exhausted after driving.
