Russians are told what age they should give up their cars 16:58

People over the age of 75 are strictly prohibited from driving. In this respect reports osnmedia.ru, with reference to Yuri Konev, a leading expert in gerontology and geriatrics.

“I believe that the age limit at which a person is allowed to drive should not exceed 75. During this period, an elderly person begins to age and all biological processes in his body slow down, including reactions to what is happening around him. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden for people who have reached this age to renew their driver’s license,” he said.

According to him, there is an internationally accepted age classification in which people between the ages of 60 and 74 are considered elderly, people between the ages of 75 and 89 are considered elderly, and people aged 90 and above are considered centenarians.

Before that, otolaryngologist Ivan Leskov statedIt is stated that drivers who spend too much time behind the wheel may experience problems with the cardiovascular system due to their constant exposure to low-frequency noise coming from the vehicle.

The doctor explained that low-frequency noise causes discomfort because it affects the amygdala, the subcortical region of the brain responsible for stress responses. As a result of such a load, a person begins to produce large amounts of adrenaline and cortisol, which negatively affects the cardiovascular system.

Also psychotherapist Evgeniy Fomin reportedHe said that depressed drivers should not drive because their reaction speed decreases. Fomin noted that the mental state of a depressed person can lead to dangerous situations on the roads. In this context, the doctor recommended that diagnosed drivers switch to public transportation.
