May is Older Americans Month, and AAA wants to remind you how aging affects driving ability.

If you are a senior, be sure to monitor your health. Consider having a thorough eye exam at least every two years – and more if you have visual difficulty due to degenerative eye disease.

Remember night vision usually diminishes first, so simply cutting out night driving is an easy remedy.

If you have questions about your ability to continue to drive, consider taking a refresher Driver Improvement Class or if you want to privately assess your driving abilities, order Roadwise Review, a CD designed for a driving self-assessment to test older drivers’ knowledge and abilities.

Doctors, teachers and other professionals require continuing education to make sure they are up-to-date on the latest technology in their field. Why shouldn’t motorists do that same?

Automobiles have advanced with anti-lock brakes, stability control, adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, pre-collision systems and other technological advances. Learn how they help you.

Those interested can call 888-274-4459 to register for a Driver Improvement class. Cost: $55 for AAA members; $65 for nonmembers. Roadwise Review costs $6.45, including shipping.
