Liberty Mutual, the insurance company, has this online driving test called Driver’s Test. Caution, annoying music starts to play.
meant to simulate some of the challenges that elderly drivers face when they’re out on the road.
Yeah, if you are driving your car using arrows on a keyboard. You
know up arrow for accelerate, down area for stop, right for right, left
for left. I HATE games that use keyboards.
Yeah, I started a conversation with myself, muttering under my breath MORE“The Driver Seat Game is a great conversation starter,” Greg Gordon, senior vice president of Consumer Marketing at Liberty Mutual, said in a statement. “Most families are simply not addressing the very important issue of senior mobility, perhaps because they feel ill-equipped on how to approach it.”

Posted 1:04pm June 25th, 2009That's a great question ... I'm not sure if you saw the story that we did with Rachel, the 90-year-old woman who still has a 1964 Mercury Comet with nearly 600,000 miles. I was surprised when she told us that she thinks people should have to re-take their driver's tests as they get older, but once she explained herself, I was convinced.
Here's the link, if you haven't seen the story.
