CarFit Event in Veterans Park

AARP Driver Safety Class Senior Center-Veterans Park Sept 20, 2014

Helping Mature Drivers Find Their Safest Fit
CarFit is an educational program that provides a quick, yet comprehensive review of how well you and your vehicle work together. The CarFit program, which was developed by AAA, AARP and the American Occupational Association, also provides information and materials on community-specific resources that could enhance your driving safety and increase mobility.

Physical changes, such as arthritis and decreased range of motion, can make vehicle safety especially challenging for older drivers. That is why CarFit is committed to educating older drivers on how they can adjust and interact with their vehicles in ways that optimize comfort and safety.

A trained CarFit Technician will ask you several questions and complete a 12-point checklist. The entire process takes about 20 minutes, and you leave with recomme nded car adjustments and adaptations.
