Shifting Gears – Senior Driving Seminar
The Older & Wiser Driver
By 2026, one in every five Canadians will be over the age of 65. Today’s seniors are living longer and healthier lives and have more disposable income.
While age is not an indicator of driving skill, it can be a challenge.
What is CAA doing about keeping aging drivers safe on roads?
CAA, together with the Ministry of Transportation, offers free Shifting Gears seminars every fall in several communities across South Central Ontario.
The seminar invites leading experts to present a variety of subject matter targeting senior driving mobility.
CAA Driver Training offers in-car and in-class sessions for senior drivers preparing for their mandatory re-testing requirements by the Ministry of Transportation.
(GTA-only) We also offer an interactive driving assessment tool called “Roadwise Review” at your local CAA store.
What is CAA’s policy on senior driving mobility?
CAA believes that rather than limiting the mobility of aging drivers, it needs to find solutions that meet the needs and safety of all drivers. CAA supports strategies that include developing an ability-based licensing program,
road improvements and education for aging drivers and their family members to help recognize changing abilities and adapt driving practices appropriately.
