Here is some information on the gradual deterioration of our vision as we age. Some of the statistics shocked me. Apparently driving at night becomes quite hazardous as we age. In addition to vision declining in various ways, our cognition and motor functions decline so it is a triple whammy of sorts. Night Vision and Driving: How Safe Are Older Drivers?

As an aside I recall someone saying to me "Within a retirement community which single man is the most popular among the single ladies? Why, the one who can still drive at night!"
