Modern Driving Techniques for the Experienced Mature Driver.
This
is an innovative classroom, driver-retraining program, designed specifically to
help older drivers improve their driving skills. It takes into consideration
the physical changes of the maturing driver, and identifies ways in which
he/she can compensate for these changes.
The
course will remind participants of driving skills and techniques they once
learned, but fail to use regularly. The course provides new approaches and
concepts, including compensating for normal age related physical changes that
may affect driving ability.
People can improve their driving abilities
through additional training, attention, and practice, enabling them to maintain
their driving privileges, while driving more defensively.
The
course is a classroom oriented course of 10 hours duration, divided into 4
sessions of 2 ½ hours each, over 4 days. The program is presented using a
combination of workbooks, slides, brochures, and group discussions.
IN-CAR
EVALUATIONS ARE ALSO OFFERED AND RECOMMENDED AS AN EXTRA.
