| Title: | Carfit: Older Drivers Fit for Safe Driving | | Date: | 5/10/2025 (Saturday) | | Address: | 125 Elton Hills Dr NW, Rochester, MN, United States, Minnesota 55901 | | Location: | Rochester, MN | | Hours: | Saturday, May 10, 2025 at 10:00AM 4:00PM CDT | | Cost/Cover: | See Details | | Contact Info: | See Details |
| Details: | Older drivers often get a bad rap for being a menace on the road, but data about their safe driving practices reveals quite the contrary. In fact, older drivers are involved in fewer fatal collisions per capita than in the past.
Studies also show that many older drivers self-limit their driving by driving fewer miles, or avoiding driving at night or in other challenging situations.
Seniors, come to 125 LIVE to participate in a unique safety program called Carfit. CarFit, developed in 2005, runs drivers through a 12-point checklist to assess their fit in their vehicle and educate them on how minor adjustments may increase their safety. Carfit helps promote conversations between older drivers and their families about driving safety and helps seniors improve their fit in their vehicles.
At the event, youll be able to talk with older drivers and see first-hand how trained technicians help aging drivers with the comfort and safety settings in their car including:
\tA clear line-of-sight over the steering wheel;
\tAdequate space between the front air bag\/steering wheel and the drivers breastbone; properly adjusted head restraints;
\tProper positioning on gas and brake pedals;
\tProper seat belt use and fit, and safe positioning of mirrors to minimize blind spots.
Limited spots. Register early.
