(HealthDay News) -- People with dementia may no longer be able to drive safely. Recognizing this may be a very difficult conclusion, the U.S. National Library of Medicine says.

The agency says these symptoms indicate that a person with dementia is no longer safe behind the wheel:

• Difficulty remembering things that happened recently.
• Showing a sudden temper and general moodiness.
• Difficulty multi-tasking.
• Having a hard time judging distances.
• Problems with decision making and problem solving.
• Becoming easily confused.
