With the increasing senior population of California, more senior drivers are expected on our roadways.
By 2020, senior drivers, 65 years of age and older, are expected to reach 4.9 million and 6.9 million by 2040. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has implemented the Age Well, Drive Smart program statewide. This program was designed to provide older drivers with the KEYS to driving safer and driving longer.
Discussion topics in the Age Well, Drive Smart program include:
- How to tune up their driving skills.
- Refreshing their knowledge of the rules of the road.
- Learning about normal, age-related physical changes and how to adjust to them.
- When it may be time to limit or stop driving.
- Understanding the alternatives to driving.
Space is limited; please call today to sign up. It is imperative that senior drivers receive the assistance necessary to be a safer driver.
