If you are having trouble, I might be able to help. I found this for you to peruse..... Safety Tips For Older Drivers The American population is getting older. The Census Bureau predicts the population over the age of 65 will increase by 60 percent in the next 20 years. The "graying of America" is a concern of the nation. Drivers over 60 years of age are showing increased fatality rates; suffer more serious injuries in crashes than do younger drivers. Older drivers are more likely to die in a crash partly because they are more fragile and tend to have less range of motion. There are many changes that happen to our bodies as we age such as vision changes, less muscle strength, slower reaction times, loss of hearing and medications can have an impact on the ability to maneuver a car. As the mature driver ages, they become uncomfortable with certain challenges they face on the road and make the changes they need to feel safe. Some older drivers begin to limit their driving to daytime hours or avoid driving in inclement weather or avoid driving on expressways. Many older drivers received their licenses without any formal training; long before driver's education programs were introduced into the schools. Many drivers, including those under 50, have developed bad driving habits over the years and don't realize there are safer ways to drive. Driver's education classes for the older driver helps them become aware of the changes their bodies are going through and the ways they need to adapt their driving without forfeiting their driving privileges. Here are some driving tips that all drivers should know: * Keep current on the rules of the road and follow them. Take a defensive driving course for the mature driver. * Be a defensive and courteous driver. * Allow plenty of time to get to your destination. Drivers that are rushed make unsafe decisions while driving. Older drivers that are less rushed are more comfortable with the increased stimulation of heavier traffic. * Leave plenty of room between you and the car ahead of you. Use the standard "2 second rule" when judging distance between you and the car ahead of you. Older drivers may want to increase the time to 3 seconds to allow more reaction time. * Older drivers should decrease their driving in bad weather, avoid dimly lit roadways and limit their driving during peak traffic times. Burn and Shock Trauma Institute's Injury Prevention Program is sponsoring the AARP 55ALIVE Defensive Driving Course on May 24 and 25 from 10:00 am. until 2:30 pm. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Participants who complete the course could receive up to 10% off of their automobile insurance rates. JK JK!!!!!! Get better!!!! Quote
