Maine Mature Driver Program - Driving Fitness, Health, & Aging: Considerations for Safe Mobility

How do aging-related changes in health and function impact driving safety? How does Maine address medical concerns related to driver licensing? How can older adults remain safely mobile behind the wheel and otherwise?

Learn answers to these questions & more.

This presentation strives to inform older adults and the family and friends who support them about how aging-related changes in health and function may have an impact on driving safety, how the Maine BMV addresses medical-fitness-to-drive concerns, and how older drivers may self-regulate to remain safely behind the wheel OR make a smooth transition into driving retirement.
