AAA launches its national Senior Driver Expo tour and takes to the road to help seniors and their 'sandwich boomer' children deal with senior driving and mobility challenges. Similar to popular community health-care events, the Senior Driver Expo will offer a hands-on opportunity to sample AAA's suite of research-based senior driver resources.

Attendees will have access to tools that can help assess and improve driving skills, reduce driving risks and foster dialogue between adult children and their senior parents about driving issues. Families can take a test drive of several AAA senior driver safety products and tools on display including:

• AAA Roadwise Review - A computer-based screening tool that allows users to measure the functional abilities scientifically linked to crash risk among older drivers.
• CarFit - A community-based program that offers older adults the opportunity to check how well their personal vehicles "fit" them for maximum comfort and safety.
• Smart Features for Mature Drivers - A guide that identifies vehicle features that can assist drivers with the visual, physical and mental changes that are frequently encountered as they age.

Remaining venues on the 2010 tour include Phoenix (Peoria), Arizona, and Virginia Beach, Virginia.  The roster of 2011 events will be announced later in the year.
