Driving Safely - At Any Age

Driving is many things: a means of transportation, a symbol of independence, an enjoyable hobby. It’s also a huge responsibility. Every driver should take steps to ensure that they are at their best behind the wheel - for their own safety and for the safety of those around them.

That’s why the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety has partnered with Posit Science to bring you DriveSharp. A brain fitness program, DriveSharp is clinically proven to help drivers be sharper and cut their crash risk by up to 50%.

While every driver can likely benefit from DriveSharp, studies show it is particularly beneficial for drivers who are experiencing some effects of aging - especially slower processing and reaction times. Our brains begin to slow down just slightly beginning around age 30. Over time, it begins to take the brain longer to process information and also makes it harder to ignore distractions.

These changes can hinder driving safety. Reacting to a situation while driving involves three steps: sensing, deciding, and acting. Even if your brain is just a few milliseconds slower at taking these steps, it can mean the difference between reacting in time to avoid a car crash…or too late.

The AAA Foundation is dedicated to helping you stay safe on the road - and improving road safety for everyone. Measure your crash risk today, and learn how DriveSharp can help even the best drivers take control of the road.
