In today’s world, driving a car may seem to be a necessary part of life, however, owning a vehicle and holding a driver’s license are privileges that come with a great
deal of responsibility. Join Michele Ellicks, Community Outreach Coordinator for MassDOT/Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV), for an hour-long program entitled, “Be a Road Scholar.”
Ms. Ellicks discusses issues facing senior drivers, the Commonwealth’s rules of the road, recent changes that have taken place at the RMV, as well as the warning signs of unsafe driving. She also shares the requirements to apply for a handicap placard or plate as well as a Massachusetts identification card, the most recent research concerning mature drivers, and alternative forms of transportation. Learn what’s available in your community.
Portions of the program have been featured on WCVB-TV’s “Chronicle” as well as in the Boston Globe, Patriot Ledger, and Springfield Union News.
