The McLennan Group, Lombard Canada, and CARP are the core sponsors of this informative and enlightening 45-minute presentation which is delivered by an on-duty officer will improve the safety of mature drivers and help preserve their right to drive. There is no cost to arrange a Drive Wise seminar for your area! For the past eight years, communities in Ontario have hosted the Drive Wise education seminar. This 45-minute presentation provides valuable safe-driving strategies for Canadians 50 years of age and older. It can also be a fun social event, which includes door prizes. Studies indicate that as Canadians age they face an increasing number of challenges behind the wheel. In fact, while mature motorists on a per capita basis are not involved in more accidents than other age groups, once involved in a traffic mishap they are at greater risk of serious injury or death. Many older drivers are also concerned about the increased scrutiny of licensing authorities, incidents of aggressive driving on the road, and rising insurance rates. According to Leo Tasca, Team Leader, Special Projects in the Ministry of Transportation in Ontario, evidence indicates that driver performance can be improved through group education sessions.
