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.
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.
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.

This study examines the prevalence and frequency of use of in-vehicle technologies as well as the relationships between technology-use frequency and associated factors among a subset of AAA participants
Consequently, it’s important to be aware of – and adhere to – all car recalls. To help better understand the topic, we asked our AAA experts for answers to all your car recall questions.
Increasing older drivers’ understanding of the importance of advancements in vehicle safety may result in greater ownership of safer vehicles and fewer road injuries.
But some of the amazing optional safety features in late-model vehicles enhance safety even further. And they are top picks for baby boomers and other older drivers.
