Brief Summary: Drivers aged 65+ depend on their car(s) to get to the places and see the people that are important to them. Losing a license in later life has been linked to higher rates of loneliness, depression, and even admission to long-term care; a fact that is particularly relevant when considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. While drivers in this age group are among the safest on the road, they have one of the highest risks of collision when distance driven is considered and are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Motor vehicle crashes and falls are the top causes of injury-related hospitalizations in seniors. Through a partnership with older adults, driving instructors, and health professionals, we developed the Refreshing Older Adult Driving Skills (ROADSkills) program. This program uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) device that can be placed in people's cars, which can track their real-world, everyday driving patterns, including speeding and hard braking, alongside video data of their behind-the-wheel behaviour. Using this data, a personalized video will be created using information captured by the device in the older driver's car. This study will determine if the older drivers who receive this video feedback perform better than those who do not receive such feedback. Because this is the first time a study will use this type of behavioural intervention, we are interested in hearing from older drivers about their experience of participating in the study. The findings will help us to design a larger, national study of the ROADSkills program in Canada.
