What is Roadwise Review?

• Roadwise Review is a computer-based screening
  tool that identifies physiological changes that
  can affect driving.
• This scientifically validated screening tool
  developed by AAA helps drivers drive safely
  longer by screening for driving health just as
  they do for medical health.

3
Why has AAA created Roadwise Review?

• By the year 2020, one in five people will be 65
  or older. In response to these changing
  demographics, AAA created Roadwise Review to help
  senior drivers stay safe.
• Also, there are cognitive and physiological
  changes that affect us all as we age. Roadwise
  Review can help identify these changes before
  they become evident on the road.

4
Are there any special tools required to use
Roadside Review?

• Roadwise Review requires a computer with Windows
  XP, 2000, ME or 98 operating system, located in a
  room large enough to accommodate the tests.

5
Who will have access to Roadwise Review results?

• Roadwise Review is designed to be used in the
  privacy of your own home or in a private location
  at a senior center. Once you have completed the
  screening tests, you can print the results or
  they are lost once you exit the program. You may
  choose to share these results with others, but
  you control this because no data is saved once
  you exit the program.

What should a driver do if Roadwise Review tells
them they are at risk?

• Recommendations are provided for drivers who have
  measurable losses in safe driving ability. If
  these scores are significant enough, the user may
  be referred to a doctor, optometrist, physical
  therapist or a driving rehabilitation specialist.
  If there are no measurable losses, this score
  becomes the baseline score against which future
  scores are measured.

8
How long does it take? Can I do it alone?

• Roadwise Review takes approximately 40 minutes.
  Certain modules require a second person to
  operate a mouse and/or keyboard while you sit at
  a specified distance away from the screen. Other
  modules are completed directly by you using a
  mouse. You control who has access to the results.

9
How often should I complete Roadwise Review?

• For best results, the tests should be completed
  once or twice each year, to help you notice
  changes in your safe driving abilities. Small
  impairments, caught early, can be corrected.
  This can keep you driving longer.

AAAs goal for senior mobility

• As the leading motorist advocate agency, AAA is
  dedicated to keeping drivers on the road as long
  as safely possible. When it is no longer
  possible to drive, AAA is committed to promoting
  viable alternative transportation programs.

the program free at senior centers, area agencies
