Scrutiny of older drivers may cut deaths but loss of independence can be painful
Scrutiny of older drivers may cut deaths but loss of independence can be painful: "My family's dilemma -- whether and how to intervene when a potentially dangerous elderly driver, often a parent, refuses to hang up the keys -- 'is happening all across the United States in families up and down the streets every day,' said Elinor Ginzler, a senior vice president of AARP. 'It's a huge issue.'"

Keeping Us Safe has developed the "Enhanced Self-Assessment Program" for senior drivers.
This individualized program has been designed to serve as a valuable tool in helping older drivers (and their families) make appropriate decisions regarding the future of ones safe driving career.
If the individual is a safe driver, we provide him or her with strategies on how to remain a safe driver as they progress through the aging process.
If driving retirement is the appropriate decision, then we provide the individual (and their family) with acceptable alternatives, resources and a very specific plan to ensure a smooth and successful transition from the drivers seat to the passenger seat.
We also offer two separate presentations for your group or organization:
- A Safe Drive Through the Aging Process, and
- Adults with Aging Parent Drivers
Please visit our website www.keepingussafe.org or call toll-free 877-907-8841 to learn more about our exciting and unique programs for senior drivers AND their respective families. We can help!
