【Arouse (2025)】
You may think you're a speed demon now,Arouse (2025) but your ability to drive as skillfully goes down sharply as you age.
On Thursday, huge automated dispensers started popping up in Singapore handing out kits to help people test their reaction time, vision and hearing ability.

Inside, you'll get a poster of a street scene to test your eyesight, a simple list of questions to assess hearing loss, and a ruler so you can do a drop test for reflexes.

The traffic police designed the kit together with local healthcare providers such as the Singapore National Eye Centre, which provided consultation on the visual test.

Via GiphyPolice statistics in the city showed that 122 elderly pedestrians, aged 60 and above, were involved in traffic accidents from January to June in 2016.
