Although older drivers are the demographic group with the highest rate of seatbelt use — and the lowest percentage of alcohol-related accidents — they are more likely to be killed or seriously injured when a crash occurs.

Look for a CarFitSM event in your area or volunteer to help drivers get the right fit by making the proper adjustments for comfort and safety.

Why? Older drivers are more physically fragile than their younger counterparts, and they're generally less able to withstand the impact of a vehicular accident.

Fortunately, there are ways for drivers to adapt to their cars — and adjust their "fit" within them — in order to reduce their risk of injury during a crash.

CarFit, a free educational program created by the American Society on Aging and developed in collaboration with AAA, AARP and the American Occupational Therapy Association, helps address these safety concerns.
