Aging drivers can increase their confidence behind the wheel and refresh their driving skills with the Saskatchewan Safety Council's Mature Driver Refresher Course. The free course is sponsored by SGI and provides insight into how aging drivers can adapt their driving habits based on the physical changes the body goes through as it matures. The six hour course covers self-evaluation of current driving knowledge and habits, the aging process and how it affects driving, compensating for vision and hearing problems, adapting to hazardous road and weather conditions, understanding your vehicle, and safe driving when using medication.
The Mature Driver Refresher Course is instructed by Lee Carlson who has been delivering the course to communities around Saskatchewan for the past 12 years. It is strictly informational and there are no required examinations.
Participants can expect a positive and open class environment, and their license will not be effected.
The course will be offered in Langenburg, Melville and Yorkton in October.
