In unpredictable situations, slower brake time in elderly drivers is associated with lower limb muscle strength, agility and low-contrast sensitivity. Therefore, for safe driving, these parameters should be considered as guidelines for maintaining the driving ability of elderly drivers and aging people. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2020; ••: ••-••.
