Older Driver Safety Awareness Week aims to promote understanding of the importance of mobility and transportation to ensuring older adults remain active in the community—shopping, working or volunteering—with the confidence that transportation will not be the barrier to strand them at home.
At this CarFit event, Occupational Therapy faculty and graduate students will complete a 12-point checklist with each driver and their vehicle. Among the items checked:
-
Correct position of driver’s seat
-
Driver’s ability to easily reach pedals
-
Proper adjustment of mirrors
