The Baby Boomer's Second Driver's Manual: A Practical Guide for Driving Safely for a Old Generation

By 2020 Baby Boomers will comprise 50 million people in the United States. Most of us will still be driving. If we do not learn as individual drivers to compensate for our declining abilities and to learn a new and safer way of driving, we will not only be endangering our fellow citizens and ourselves we will face a growing demand for draconian measures to limit our legal privileges to drive a car well into our senior years. We want to live an independent and productive life and driving, to most of us, is a vital part of that life we don't want to lose. This book covers ways to address fatigue, night vision, vision impairments, slow reaction times, dealing with distracted drivers, driving hazards, what to do in an accident, as well as how to operate and maintain your vehicle. It is written using true-to-life examples drawn on my own experiences as a trooper, as well as humor and antidotes.
