This driver safety course is designed to help drivers age 50-plus familiarize themselves with the current rules of the road, defensive driving techniques, and how to operate vehicles more safely in today’s driving environment.
According to a press release, in addition to learning safety strategies that can reduce the likelihood of a crash, participants of the course will learn how aging, medications, alcohol, and other health-related issues affect driving ability. The course also helps participants determine when it may not be best to drive (e.g., late at night, inclement weather, etc.) and how to plan for a time when driving is no longer an option.
The course is offered on Thursday, May 24, from noon to 4:30 pm at the Tisbury Senior Center. Call 508-696-4205 for more information or to register.
