Senior Driver Training Program (how to drive longer, smarter & safer)
One of the most relevant and important daily activities when it comes to maintaining our independence is the ability to drive, and especially so for older adults. It’s true – you’ve been driving for years and in all likelihood, you have never had a collision.
In fact, with years of driving experience and knowledge you are likely a very good driver. However, part of the natural process of aging includes changes in hearing, vision, flexibility and reaction time. Certain medications can also affect your ability to drive safely and can even affect your concentration and ability to stay awake while on the road. Because these changes occur over time, it can be difficult to recognize how they affect personal driving abilities.
To update your driving skills, it may be time to review them so that you can learn to adjust your skills to compensate for those changes. Do any of these situations bother you?
Our Senior Driver Training Program is designed to help older drivers maintain their independence and their driving privileges. This program will help you gain more confidence behind the wheel, increase your awareness of potential traffic risks and improve your ability to anticipate and plan ahead.
The aim of this program is to raise their awareness about the effects of ageing on driving performance and provide tips and strategies on how to maintain safe driving practices for as long as possible. In addition, we also offer guidance on safe driver reduction and cessation of driving as well as alternative transport options for seniors.
