The issue of determining driving competence in the older driver with dementia is addressed. Neuropsychological tests that highlighted visual spatial skills, attention and reaction time provided the most meaningful correlations with driving performance so it is suggested that patients with MMSE (Mini-Mental State Exam) scores of 24 or less should have a driving evaluation at six month intervals.
