DMV to Hold Two Senior Driver Days in May
Dover -- The Department of Transportation's (DelDOT) Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announces that May 2011 has been declared as Older Americans Month and Driver Safety Month nationally. In celebration of this declaration, the DMV will be offering two different opportunities for senior drivers to visit DMV locations and get assistance with driver services that they need, as well as to get information that they may find useful.
The two Senior Driver Day events will be held on Saturday, May 14, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, at the Greater Wilmington DMV facility at 2230 Hessler Boulevard in New Castle and on Saturday, May 21, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, at the Georgetown DMV facility at 23737 DuPont Boulevard, Georgetown. During both events, seniors and their families are invited to come out and discover what Delaware is doing to assist seniors in their cars and on the road.
"These two events give us the opportunity to highlight the ongoing outreach efforts of the members of the Senior Driver Task Force who are dedicated to keeping seniors safe and mobile," said DMV Director Jennifer Cohan. "By partnering with other state and local organizations, these events are a one-stop shop of information that can benefit them, their families, and even their vehicles."
DMV has partnered with several agencies, bringing valuable events and information to one location. Senior Day events include information from the Senior Driver Task Force Partners and the AARP CarFit program, which offers a team of trained technicians working with each participant to ensure they "fit" their vehicle properly for maximum comfort and safety.
DMV services available to seniors during the events include vehicle inspection, registration, driver license, handicap placards, and self assessments, which help promote safer driving by comparing current driving abilities with the requirements for safe driving. Even if your vehicle is not due for inspection, come by and get a free safety and emissions check.
Additional information will be available from our partners at Beebe Medical Center, the Office of Highway Safety, the Delaware Aging Network, the Delaware Safety Council, the Delaware Transit Corporation, DelDOT Traffic, and the Delaware Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities.
