On DVD:
New Video Focuses on Older Driver Issues

Fact or myth: Older drivers cause more accidents than younger drivers. This sore subject, and the equally controversial question of whether people should have to stop driving at a certain age, are featured in a 36-minute DVD, “Mobility Matters for Older Drivers.”

Based on a day-long workshop sponsored by MTC in 2006, the video covers “myths and facts” about older drivers; what happens when a driver is referred to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV); issues around roadway signage visibility; and how families should discuss “giving up the car keys” with older family members. It features experts from the DMV, the California State Automobile Association, Caltrans, the American Association of Retired Persons and more, plus an introduction by former State Senator (and former MTC Chair) Quentin Kopp.

The DVD is available to the public free of charge and also can be viewed on the MTC Web site. To order
a free copy of the DVD, e-mail library@mtc.ca.gov or call 510.817.5836.
