Our eyesight is one of several things that deteriorate as we get older that can impact driving. With the population aging, that can be a concern.
A spokesperson for AAA Northeast shared some safe driving tips for seniors with Mid-Hudson News, serving the Hudson Valley and Catskill Region of New York. To extend your ability to get around, he recommends doing regular stretching routines for your arms, shoulders, elbows, and hands. Additionally, he says, “You ideally should be using your neck muscles to check your blind spots.”
There are also safe driving courses specifically for seniors that you can enroll in. By passing one of these refresher courses, you could potentially save money on your auto insurance.
Council of Seniors Wants to Support Older Americans
The Council of Seniors strives to help seniors stay safe physically and financially.
We are working diligently to get Congress to passThe SAVE Benefits Act. This crucial bill will put $581 back in retirees’ pockets to make up for Social Security cost-of-living adjustments that were far too low for years.
Sign our petition today to support our efforts. Congress has ignored the growing number of seniors expecting action for way too long.
