We had the pleasure of talking with Kimberly Schwind, Assistant Director & Training Programs Administrator, Ohio Traffic Safety Office for the Ohio Department of Public Safety. And Angie Wise, Ohio Statewide CarFit Coordinator for the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging, about important initiatives to support the mobility and safety of older Ohioans behind the wheel. Here are 3 key takeaways from our conversation:1️⃣ Self-Assessment: It's crucial for older drivers to regularly assess their comfort and capabilities on the road. Visit the Stay Fit to Drive website to access a helpful self-assessment checklist. Identifying areas of discomfort will allow you to adjust your driving habits accordingly and plan road trips during the day if night driving is a concern.2️⃣ Improve Your Skills: Taking driving courses, such as those offered by AAA or AARP, can enhance your driving skills and help you adapt to new technologies in vehicles. Whether you love or find certain features tiresome, becoming familiar with technology will boost your confidence behind the wheel.3️⃣ Community Support: Approaching the conversation of giving up driving can be difficult, but remember that numerous resources are available to maintain your independence. Driver rehabilitation specialists throughout Ohio can help evaluate your abilities, suggest alternative transportation options, and provide adaptive equipment if needed. Additionally, explore support within your community, such as neighbors, relatives, or spiritual community members, who may be able to serve as alternative drivers.Here are the resources we mention in the podcast.We would love to hear from you.Give us your feedback, or suggest a topic, by leaving us a voice message.Email us at hello@lookingforwardourway.com.Find us on Facebook.Please review our podcast on Google!And of course, everything can be found on our website, Looking Forward Our Way.Recorded in Studio C at 511 Studios.

Kimberly Schwind from AAA Ohio brings us up-to-date on how deadly the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day is statistically for teen drivers.AAA is leading an effort to modernize Ohio’s young driver licensing system through supporting HB 293, the “Young Driver Protection Bill,” sponsored by Reps. Gary Scherer (R) and Michael Sheehy (D). The bill would make Ohio’s roads safer by giving teen drivers more experience behind the wheel through two small, but important adjustments to Ohio’s current licensing system:Lengthening the Temporary Instruction Permit phase from six to 12 months.Beginning supervised nighttime driving protections for novice teen drivers at 10 p.m., rather than midnight.
