Vehicle Safety

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.

Since 1996, the National Safety Council (NSC) has dedicated June to sharing resources and safety tips to create a safer environment for all. This year's campaign will focus on safety engagement, roadway safety, risk reduction, and fall prevention. 

This Older Americans Month, the Roadway Safety Foundation (RSF) is taking the opportunity to shine a light on an often overlooked but crucial component of promoting safety and independence: roadway design. 

The Clearinghouse for Older Road User Safety (ChORUS) is proud to celebrate Older Americans Month this May. This year’s theme is Powered by Connection, an opportunity to support older adults in finding community and staying connected with friends and family.

Story of my Life (One Direction) – We all have a story to tell – about personal or professional experiences or even some that cross between the two. Sometimes we don’t realize how impactful our stories can be. Therefore, we hold them inside, thinking they aren’t that important or that strong.
