One-Off or Package Lessons Gift Vouchers Available SPOTTO DRIVING SCHOOL GOLD COAST Driving Safely in Your Later Years: Navigating the Road with Medications At Spotto Driving School, we specialise in helping those over 50 maintain their independence on the road. One common concern is how medications can affect driving. Whilst we don’t provide medical advice, it’s crucial to understand the potential impact medications may have on driving safety. The Impact of Medications on Driving Many prescription and over-the-counter medications can impact your driving ability, leading to slower reaction times, impaired judgment, reduced attention span, drowsiness, blurred vision, or dizziness. These effects can significantly increase the risk of accidents. Medications that commonly affect driving include antihistamines, antidepressants, sleeping pills, painkillers, diabetes and anxiety medications, muscle relaxants, and some blood pressure medications. Recommendations for Safe Driving • Consult Healthcare Providers - Regularly discuss your medications with your doctor or pharmacist. • Read Labels Carefully - Pay attention to warnings about driving or operating machinery. • Be Aware of Interactions - Combining medications or mixing them with alcohol can affect driving. • Monitor New Medications - Use alternative transportation until you understand how new medications affect you. • Never Drive Under the Influence - This includes any medication that impairs your ability to drive safely. • Keep a Medication Log - Track your medications and dosages. • Plan Your Medication Schedule - Take drowsinesscausing medications when you don’t plan to drive. • Regular Health Check-ups - Ensure your prescriptions remain suitable as you age. How Spotto Driving School Can Help We offer services to support safe driving: Upskilling Lessons to refresh your driving skills. Return-to-Driving Programs to regain confidence after a break. Adaptive Driving Techniques to compensate for age-related changes. Vehicle Technology Education to help you use modern car features. The Importance of Self-Awareness Be honest about your driving abilities, listen to family concerns, and adjust your habits if needed. At Spotto Driving School, we’re here to support you in staying safe and independent on the road. Freshly made home cooked meals with local farm produce (including some we grow ourselves), and high quality sustainably sourced meats and seafood. We offer catering to a wide range of dietary requirements and offer a range of options each week to keep you healthy and happy. We provide meals to people who have NDIS or Home Care Plans (HCP). If you are on a Self-Managed plan, when you make an order, you will be issued with an NDIS or HCP compliant invoice. If you are Plan-Managed, you will pay 30% of the cost. We then liaise with your Plan Manager to recover the balance. Colleen from Merrimac had this to say about our service: “It is just so nice to sit down to a beautiful meal and feel like I have spoilt myself! I’ve tried supermarket meals and other meal providers, but they just all tasted so bland. When my Dr noticed that my health was deteriorating, I knew I needed a better solution. Since starting to receive the meals from Open Sauce Kitchen I have started feeling better, and I look forward to receiving the delicious meals each week.” We serve our fresh and delicious meals up weekly.
