Prof. Sokratis Papageorgiou has the last word at the Cognition and Driving symposium summarizing the previous very interesting talks and sharing with us his personal experience with an accident (elderly involved).

To drive or not to drive? This should not be the question in question. Further evaluation is the answer though.

Does the diagnosis of AD or MCI implies immediate revocation of a driving licence?
-No, provided that a number of parameters are monitored.

Driving simulator experiments, neurological examination, neurospychiatric evaluation, cognitive predictors of driving behavior are useful tools for monitoring these parameters.

Prof Papageorgiou then provides us with an overview of their series of experiments and analyses regarding this matter.
Distraction during driving plays a critical role in driving behaviour in patients with MCI and AD
