Driving Evaluation and Refresher
$200 - 2 hours
Driving today looks very different than it did even 10 or 20 years ago. Traffic is heavier, distractions are constant, and other driver’s are unpredictable. Many older adults have decades of safe driving experience, and that experience deserves respect. At the same time, even the most seasoned drivers can benefit from support as the driving conditions continue to modernize. Our goal is not to take away independence, but to help drivers adapt safely to the realities of modern roads.
This course is designed to provide professional, objective driving evaluations for older adults. Whether you’re an experienced driver looking for reassurance or a family member seeking clarity for a loved one, our evaluations focus on real-world driving ability, awareness, and decision-making. Each assessment is conducted in a calm, respectful manner by trained law-enforcement professionals, offering honest feedback and practical recommendations to support safety, confidence, and continued independence.
