Tips for Safe Senior Driving

For Senior Drivers

• Take a behind the wheel refresher driving course at least once a year
• Get regular check-ups for hearing, vision and general health and get treatment for problems (and ask physicians about effect of medications on driving)
• Stay strong and healthy through activity and exercise; stay mentally alert through interaction with others, hobbies and new learning activities
• Stay away from potential distractions while driving (radio, cell phones, conversations with passengers, eating, etc.)

REMEMBER: Good Driving Depends on Ability, Not Age
