If you live in Southern California, chances are you are a driver. However, as much of a routine as driving is, a patient with Parkinson’s Disease might not be able to drive with such ease. Not only does it involve physical ability, but it also has to do with legal permissions and safety issues that could potentially be more trouble down the road. While the patient might be able to operate a vehicle for several years with its initial diagnosis, the ability of the driver should be assessed constantly based on aspects of vision, general task-handling ability, and reaction time. As a patient on the Michael J. Fox Foundation website puts it best, “If a loved one were my passenger, would I be risking that person’s safety because of my Parkinson’s disease?”
