Age well – Drive Smart

The California Highway Patrol is offering a traffic safety program for senior drivers at the Aptos Public Library. The Age Well, Drive Smart Program is designed to provide drivers with the keys to driving safer and driving longer. This program is designed as an educational tool for mature drivers. Topics of discussion will include:

• How to tune up driving skills.
• Refreshing their knowledge of the rules of the road.
• Learning about normal, age-related physical changes and how to adjust to them
• When it may be time to limit or stop driving.
• Understanding the alternatives to driving.

Age Well, Drive Smart classes are approximately two and one-half hours long geared toward drivers age 65 and up, but they are open to anyone who feels they can benefit from this information.

The CHP’s Age Well, Drive Smart classes are free of charge.
