With the development of health, vision, and mobility problems, it can become impossible to drive safely.<\/p>\n<p>But until that point comes, there are some things seniors can do to continue driving without putting themselves or others at risk. For example, seniors can take refresher driving courses, like DriveLab, which is a program that evaluates driving skills.<\/p>\n<p>There is also Drivewise, which provides seminars throughout Canada to help seniors learn driving strategies that minimize the risk of collision and other accidents on the road.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Two Crucial Tips for Driving and Seniors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Tip #1 &#8211; Choosing a Senior-Friendly Car: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To stay safe while driving, seniors should consider getting a senior-friendly car or something better suited to their needs. Here are the senior-friendly features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adjustable pedals<\/li>\n<li>Power-operated seats<\/li>\n<li>Four doors<\/li>\n<li>Large or wide-angle mirrors<\/li>\n<li>Brake assists<\/li>\n<li>Lumbar support<\/li>\n<li>Adjustable seatbelts<\/li>\n<li>Keyless entry and start<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Tip #2 &#8211; When Seniors Should Put Away the Car Keys: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, even after taking refresher driving courses or getting a senior-friendly car, there may come a time when your loved one will need to retire from driving a car, to prevent jeopardizing themselves and others.<\/p>\n<p>But the good news is that your loved one may still be able to drive around town, avoiding night driving and driving on highways. That said, if you have noticed that your loved one is no longer safe behind the steering wheel, it is important to be straightforward and start the conversation as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Driving and Seniors: The Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Transportation Services Solution<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>While your loved one may feel that this is the end of their independent life, this does not have to be the case, as many alternatives can give them even more freedom in their daily life.<\/p>\n<p>When you are no longer able to drive your loved one around Vancouver, our trained, experienced, and loving caregivers can step in and offer incidental transportation to any place in town.
