The commercial website Reviews.com has good informaton about vehicle modifications that might allow seniors to keep driving safely as they age. Check it out. Here are the opening paragraphs:
COVID-19 has made life more difficult for just about everyone, but seniors have been particularly impacted. Lack of contact with friends and neighbors, an increased inability to be in public places such as grocery stores and restaurants, and less-available caregivers all make this a hard time for the elderly. In fact, in a recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll, half of respondents over 65 said that worry and stress over the pandemic has negatively impacted their mental health.
But there are things you can do to make it easier to connect with others and maintain your sense of independence. In this article, we’ll explore ways you can stay mobile by looking at modifications that can be made to your vehicle. Tweaking the way your car operates can get you back behind the wheel, so you can keep in contact with your loved ones and support yourself in a safe manner.
Since many seniors live on a fixed income, we’ve included options that are reasonably priced along with those at the higher end. There are ways you can avoid modifications altogether too, since no one wants to spend money they don’t have to.
The silver lining? Often, modifications that help you drive safer may save you money on your auto insurance. It’s in your insurer’s best interests to keep you safe on the road, so anything that helps you avoid accidents may increase your eligibility for discounts and lower rates.
