Utilizing Your Vehicles Safety Features as an Older Driver

June is National Safety Month, which includes vehicle safety!

As we age, driving can become more challenging due to age-related changes in vision, hearing, and reaction times. However, we all know how important road safety is, and modern vehicles come equipped with a variety of safety features designed to help drivers of all ages. For older drivers, utilizing these features could improve driving safety. If your car is older and lacks some of these advanced features, there are modifications you can make to improve safety.

Smart Features for Older Adults

Our ability to drive requires not only knowledge and experience, but healthy visual, physical and cognitive capabilities. While our knowledge and experience expand with age, changes to and possible losses in vision, physical health and mental capabilities require adjustments to help us remain safe, responsible drivers.

Newer Cars Are Safer Cars

Vehicle safety has changed drastically over the years, and today newer cars are safer than ever before. Thanks to advanced engineering, in-depth research and analysis of crash data, newer vehicles are built better and have more safety features to protect you. Advanced technologies that have emerged in recent years give you even more safety options — you can choose what features are best to keep you and your family safe on the road.
