Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Senior Drivers! Your future is in jeopardy. A disturbing situation is developing in the United States. Since people are living longer, the number of drivers over 65 is escalating three times as rapidly as the general driving population. Older people have difficulty concentration, shorter attention spans and failing vision among other ailments. Unfortunately this results in frequent driving mishaps, sometimes with catastrophic results. Taking away their driving privileges would deprive them of their self esteem and independence. This could happen if they continued to have accidents caused by their propensity to get distracted easily and lose concentration. Some states have already enacted laws requiring re-exams for seniors. No doubt many more will follow. Driving slower in traffic is not the answer. This could cause accidents. Driving too fast would be worse since a person’s attention span and reaction time deteriorate with age. It does not matter how skillful he or she once were, aging diminishes skill in almost all areas including the operation of a motor vehicle. Driving today has become more complex as many more cars are on the road. When seniors started to drive, turnpikes and expressways were non existent. After observing the avoidable accidents seniors were having, and realizing how their ranks were exploding, I decided to write “The Senior Driver’s Survival Guide” – subtitled What You Must Know to Protect Your Driving Privileges. Its contents can enable older drivers to drive with a more acute awareness and help them to be better drivers in their “Golden” years. It is an important book which has the power to change and save lives.

Book excerpt: *This is probably NOT a book for YOU; it was actually written for the OTHER DRIVER; the one you always yell at. Since everyone considers themselves a GOOD DRIVER, maybe you¿re interested in learning a bit more. I believe you will find subtle tidbits of driving wisdom inside to, perhaps, become an OUTSTANDING DRIVER. Then you can suggest it the next time you meet that low-skilled fellow!What can be learned about driving from this?Outstanding driving is consistently making many, many small, good decisions.¿Unfortunately, left-lane constipators create traffic anarchy on our roads by requiring others to pass on their right, and are often violating the law.¿Is this the final publication about ¿how to drive an automobile?¿ Perhaps, because many resources and significant investments are being directed toward autonomous, driverless vehicles.¿We¿re all members of the American Drivers Team and need to treat each others with respect and consideration.¿Speed plays a beneficial role in driving by reducing boredom, maintaining driver interest and reducing microsleep problems.¿This technology is formally known as magnetorheological dampeners;¿McCormack¿s Auto Roots Enthusiasm for, enjoyment of, automotive vehicles and motorsports are not needed to get the most out of this book.¿Navigating Circular Intersections Depending on the locality, these intersection designs are known by several names: traffic circle, roundabout, roundy and rotary.¿¿We are pumping Ethyl today.¿ Two factors in the early 1980¿s caused tetraethyl lead to exit the worldwide gasoline market; catalytic converters and the EPA
