Save MO Lives

Just because you’re getting older, doesn’t mean you need to give up your independence! By taking extra precautions and staying honest with your family and physician, you can continue navigating the roads safely for many years to come.

Safety at every mile starts with you! With age, factors such as medication, difficulty seeing and decreased mobility can affect one's ability to drive. Maintaining open communication with your physician or caregiver can keep you and others safe on the road!

Talking to an aging parent about safety on the road is no simple task. Thankfully there are steps you can take to preserve their autonomy, while looking out for everyone’s best interest on the road. 1 Be positive, supportive and respectful. 2 Focus on the facts. 3 Evaluate if adaptive equipment would be beneficial. 4 Make safety a priority.

In a year full of bad decisions, don’t end it with one more. If you’ve been drinking, don’t get behind the wheel.

Do your part and help keep the roads safe this holiday season by calling a ride or offering to be the designated driver!
