Senior Driving
By 2030, there will be more than 70 million people age 65 and older, and approximately 85-90 percent of them will be licensed to drive.
Seniors are outliving their ability to drive safely by an average of 7-10 years and for the first time in history, AAA Northeast is dedicated to providing older adults with a wide array of resources and information to help extend their driving career and plan for their “driving retirement.”
The AAA Defensive Driving Course is packed with up-to-date safe driving techniques and can help sharpen a mature driver’s behind-the-wheel skills.

Mature drivers can also improve their safety by ensuring a proper “fit” in their vehicle. This educational program offers older adults the opportunity to check how well their vehicle meets their needs and provides community-specific resources that can enhance their safety as drivers, and/or increase their mobility in the community.
At a CarFit event, or during a virtual CarFit assessment, trained technicians and/or health professionals work with each participant to ensure they fit their vehicle properly for maximum comfort and safety. Technicians conduct an approximately 20 minute assessment and look for things like distance from the steering wheel, line of sight over the steering wheel, ability to reach gas/brake pedals, fit of seat belt, and blind spot minimization, among others.
Watch the “Could CarFit Be a Good Fit for You?” video to learn more.
Upcoming CarFit Events
CarFit helps seniors achieve the best fit with their car for optimal safety and comfort while driving. A trained technician will help you check your vehicle to reduce blind spots, adjust mirrors, seats, tilt wheel and more, in under 30 minutes. For more information, visit www.car-fit.org.
