Around 40 seniors gathered
at the Seaforth Manor recent-

safe driving techniques.
Community service officer
for the Huron OPP Don
Shropshall presented the
Drivewise Talk seminar.

keys and keep you safe as

Shropshall
emphasized the
importance of
seniors recogniz-

may have limita-

worsening eye

"Dusk hours
make visual
imagery that
much harder.
This is when the
most crashes_
occur," he said.
Shropshall said
at night lights
seem all the
brighter, and can
be difficult on
seniors' eyes as
well.
He told the group planning
their trips so that they do the
bulk of their travelling during
the day, when visibility is the
best, is an easy solution.
Another concern Shropshall
addressed is reduced flexibili-
ty.
Seniors watched a video
that showed the proper way
to adjust their mirrors, so
that they would not have to
do as much turning.
"You should be able to see
all of the right and left lands,
not the back of your car," he
said.
"You're trying to eliminate
as much blind space for when
you're driving."
The video showed ways in
which you can check to
ensure_ your seat is adjusted
properly.

able to rest flat under
