JACKSONVILLE, Fla. As the population of Florida ages, along with it comes more senior drivers on the roadway.
From Dec. 7 - 11, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is recognizing Older Driver Safety Awareness Week. It s spearheaded by FDOT s Safe Mobility for Life Coalition, which hopes to use the week to inform Floridians about the different ways they can get where they need to go with or without a car.
FDOT says there are three main focuses for safe mobility:
Understand the impact aging has on driving
Be proactive as a driver, pedestrian, bicyclist or transit rider
