Many drivers in Canada aren't planning on giving up the drivers seat as they continue to get up in age, according to a survey done by a private insurance company.

Just under 4,000 people with a drivers license were part of the survey which found that 55% of people said they don't plan on quitting driving once they reach the age of 80 or older. Most people said they would still feel confident enough behind the wheel where they wouldn't feel at-risk with society.

About 23% of the survey members said they would quit driving around the age of 80-84, while 16% said they would call it quits by the age of 90. The reason to the majority of the answers was due to the fact that many people enjoy driving, and wish to do it for as long as they can until they know they would be dangerous on the roads.

When it comes to having someone from a medical field recommending to quit driving, 94% of survey members would agree with the doctor and would never drive again. It was clear that having a professional's opinion does matter and would be taken seriously.

Some people seemed to find that old age wouldn't matter when being on the roads, with 10% of people over 90 still believing they would be driving without any issues. It's somewhat unheard of to see 90 year old seniors driving around like nobody's business, and mainly unsafe.

Over three and a half million seniors still drive in Canada, while only 200,000 are estimated to be over the age of 80 years old. It is fairly normal to see seniors driving around in Canada, and it's predicted that more seniors will continue to be found on the roads as time goes on.
