Older Driver Safety Awareness Week
This week is designated as Older Driver Safety Awareness Week and the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee along with the Department of Motor Vehicles and the New York State Office for the Aging launched a social media campaign on its Facebook and Twitter accounts directed at both older drivers and those with an older driver in their family or community. According to a 2014 report from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, older Americans are extending their time behind the wheel compared to previous generations.
