CarFit

CarFit is an educational initiative created by AAA, AARP, and the American Occupational Therapy Association. It allows older adults to assess how well their vehicles suit them, providing information and resources tailored to their community. This program aims to enhance their safety while driving and increase their mobility.

While older drivers are typically safer, as they are more likely to use seatbelts and less likely to speed or drink and drive, they are also more vulnerable to serious injuries due to their aging bodies. Driver safety programs can improve their safety by addressing cognitive abilities and skills, but ensuring their vehicles are properly adjusted is also crucial. A well-fitted car can significantly enhance the safety of both the driver and others on the road.
