Ageless Radio Announces Senior Driving Safety Expert for August 6th Show

Aug. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- On August 6th, Ageless Radio will host Matt Gurwell, CEO and Founder of Keeping Us Safe, an organization that focuses on senior driving safety. Keeping Us Safe has a mission to develop programs that provide senior drivers and their families help to transition the senior  from the driver's seat to the passenger's seat at the appropriate time.   Gurwell spent 24 years with the Ohio State Highway Patrol.   Since his retirement he has written the book, Beyond Driving With Dignity: The Workbook for Families of Older Drivers.   The book gives families a step-by-step process to reach agreement when the time comes for the elder family member to stop driving for safety reasons.   Keeping Us Safe also has an Enhanced Self-Assessment Program for Senior Drivers based on Gurwell's work with older driver research, best practices, current vehicle safety techniques, and current adaptive equipment.  

When asked about his inspiration for Keeping Us Safe,  Gurwell responded, "There was never one particular event. It was the result of 20-plus years of holding dying people in my arms at terrible car accidents, and delivering dozens and dozens of death notifications to families. I would much rather work with families bringing a peaceful resolve to this sensitive and uncomfortable issue now, rather than have them deal with it when a State Trooper is knocking on their front door".    The program expanded beyond Ohio and now has a national reach.

Contact Matt Gurwell or find out more about Keeping Us Safe by calling 877-907-8841 or by navigating to http://www.keepingussafe.org.   The workbook is available on Amazon.com.

In a related topic, Ageless Radio will also host a vision expert on August 13th who will discuss vision issues as we age and who will discuss his work with insurance companies on vision tests that can give some seniors better auto insurance rates if their vision remains within acceptable parameters.
