The retired high school teacher, who also has a law degree,roger vivier sale, has been driving since she was 16 and intends to keep driving as long as she can. She belongs to the local friends of the library group as well as the League of Women Voters. She serves on the Waconia Commission on Aging and runs a social club called Young at Heart. In Waconia,Parajumpers Outlet, just under an hour from the Twin Cities, driving is essential, Noble said. The local bus can be expensive and inconvenient because it only runs Monday through Friday until 7 pm.
This may strike fear into the hearts of younger drivers. But the stereotype of the unsafe senior motorist isn't entirely true. While seniors are more likely to be injured in an accident because of their physical frailty, they are involved in fewer accidents than other age groups. The same state report said, "People aged 15- 24 make up 15.2 percent of the licensed drivers, yet they accounted for 25.3 percent of the crash-involved drivers. By contrast drivers over 65 made up 15.7 percent of the driving population, but accounted for just 8.0 percent of the crash-involved drivers."
Interestingly, women may pay more attention to their limitations than men do. Some even think women sometimes give up driving too soon. "There is a clear difference," said Sullivan. "Men tend to not give up early enough. They wait too long. It's different for men. Driving is part of their identity. I don't know if that's a generational thing. Boomers are more used to alternating the gender roles in driving. Men tend to have an accident before they give up. Women are the opposite. They look at accidents that others have and become anxious and worried."
"I used to go driving around in the country around here, sightseeing around Eagle Lake," Koershen said. "I'd go to Waconia." She's narrowed her range significantly and also no longer drives at night or takes passengers, who can be distracting. "I don't drive to Princeton anymore because of the traffic in Montevideo and Buffalo," she said. "I've cut down a lot. In fact,http://peutereyjacket.webmium.com/, I think I'll get rid of (my car) this fall. I don't want to, but maybe at my age I should. I hope I don't have any accidents before fall. Three men have backed into me when I was coming into a parking lot."
