Older women are increasingly returning to driving lessons, often due to family circumstances such as husbands with Alzheimer’s disease or personal needs for mobility. In Spain, while more women hold driver’s licenses than before, fewer own cars, and a significant trend shows an increase in older female drivers. Studies across Europe highlight that many older women lose confidence or stop driving earlier than men, often due to reliance on male partners. Programs promoting continued driving skills are emphasized as crucial for maintaining independence and social inclusion among the elderly, shifting the focus from when people should stop driving to how to help them drive safely for as long as possible.
