Car Fit Event

Car Fit Event -

Come join us for a Car Fit Event happening in Rhea County TN, USA! CarFit is a free, interactive and educational program designed to improve driver safety. Trained volunteers provide information to ensure the safest “fit” for drivers and their vehicles.

Older drivers are often the safest drivers in that they are more likely to wear their seatbelts, and less likely to speed or drink and drive. However, older drivers are more likely to be killed or seriously injured when a crash does occur due to the greater fragility of their aging bodies. (Source: NHTSA)

Driver safety programs improve adult driver safety by addressing cognitive abilities and skills, however, older drivers can also improve their safety by ensuring their cars are properly adjusted for them. A proper fit in one’s car can greatly increase not only the driver’s safety but also the safety of others.
