Word order

Hi,

In the below sentence, I'm trying to say that elderly drivers have great mental workload as compared to young ones, and because of this they are not able to use compensatory mechanism such as speed reduction. Although "such as ..." phrase should come immediately after "compensatory mechanism", it is not possible because of "due to...". How should I change the order of the sentence?

"It can be said that the impossibility of using a compensatory mechanism, due to greater mental workload, such as speed reduction led to the impaired performance of the elderly drivers."


Thanks!
