Program Description
“…some of the skills necessary for safe driving vision, reflexes, flexibility, and hearing begin to deteriorate as we age. If you notice that you are beginning to experience some of these natural age-related changes, you can adjust your driving habits to keep driving safely after all, one of the most critical assets for safe driving is experience, and experience does not decline with age. It’s important to recognize your limitations and to be aware of everything you can do to be safe on the road.”
