I’m only half joking, the older you get the smaller your car should be. It happened with my father, the older he got the bigger his car got. By the end he was driving huge Lincoln land yachts. He was terrible driving them as his skills diminished. Too many super seniors driving way to big of a vehicle.

We are new to TV ... closing on a house in April. I am 66 and have no illusions about getting older ... (well, only a few) ... I'll be checking in on AAA's driver course when we get there in a few weeks ... Definitely, Villages driving poses unique challenges! Thank you for the good advice.

I took the AAA driving refresher and it was worth 5% off my car insurance (State Farm)! When husband takes it, we'll net another 5% off! Good deal!

I recently took driving lessons at a place called All Florida Safety Institute and I actually enjoy driving now instead of dreading it like I used to. They even taught me how to drive manual transmission and gave me some great tips. Driving lessons aren't just for youngsters!
Just took some lessons at All Florida Safety Institute and loved every second of it! They were patient with me and taught me how to be more confident. Last edited by Moderator; 07-12-2018 at 07:44 PM. |

More important than any class is to get a vehicle with as much safety features as possible, auto lane keeping, blind side monitoring, diatonic ( this is what MB calls auto distance and stopping when using cruise control)
Basically get a car to protect you self and others |

The -66 yr old asked for advice not your criticisms.
For all those who criticized, you too may someday be a senior, senior citizen and, I'll guarantee will drive a lot different to what you do t o-day - Get a l |

If I had to get a driver's license based on my ability to parallel park well. . .let's say I wouldn't be living in the suburbs with few public transit options.

In the old days-when you were tested in NYC--if you touched the curb when parallel parking--you failed--time for a retest
