Aging Drivers

By 2030, one in five drivers will be over the age of 65. Driving is the primary mode of transportation used by the current adult population. For many, it has been decades since receiving driver education, and unsafe habits can develop over time. Refresher education classes can reinforce the rules of the road and encourage safe driving behaviors.
