Senior Driving

Senior CarFit

To commemorate Senior Safe Mobility Week, October 19-25, 2008, the Auto Club is co-sponsoring the first ever CarFit event on the Central Coast. Scheduled for October 18 at the Goleta Valley Community Center (California), the program will teach seniors how to drive more safely and comfortably.

For more information about this event, contact the Auto Club Community Affairs at 714.885.2312.

This sounds like something our Senior(s) should attend if at all possible, and I'd like to gently suggest you go with them. This could very well lead to an unwelcome discovery, that at whatever tender age they may be, perhaps they need to hang their keys up permanently. On the other hand, it could give us some peace of mind if/when we discover that our Senior is still well within driving safely and comfortably.

Please let me know if you and your Senior attend, and how informative, comprehensive and enjoyable it may have been for all involved.

Thank you,
