Concerned about your driving limitations as you get older? Have friends or family members expressed concerns about your driving? It is important to turn those concerns into action and take the proper steps in ensuring you remain safe on the road.

The California Highway Patrol’s (CHP) Age Well, Drive Smart class provides education specifically designed to assist older adults in tuning up their driving skills, refreshing their knowledge of the rules of the road, and learning about age-related physical changes and how they affect driving ability.

Aging does not automatically equal total loss of driving ability. The California Highway Patrol points out that there are many things older adults can do to continue driving safely, including modifying their vehicle, the way they drive, and understanding and rectifying physical issues that may interfere with driving.

Age Well Drive Smart class will address the following topics:

• How to tune up driving skills
• Refresh knowledge of the rules of the road
• Learn how to adjust to normal, age-related physical changes
• Obtain information about when it may be time to limit or stop driving
• Understanding driving alternatives
