Types of Adjustments Safety belt Steering wheel Pedals Mirror use Parking brake Ignition key Vehicle controls

Safety Belt/Seat Belt Do you always wear the safety belt? If not, why? Is it comfortable? If not, try adjusting it, such as lowering or raising it on the post. Sheepskin sleeves can help soften it if it rubs across the neck. Also, the position of the driver will affect the comfort of the belt and should be taken into consideration. a-seat-belt-properly_news a-seat-belt-properly_news eat+belts+in+car&view=detail&mid=227B2599AEF8213A2 A5C227B2599AEF8213A2A5C&first=81&FORM=NVPFVR eat+belts+in+car&view=detail&mid=227B2599AEF8213A2 A5C227B2599AEF8213A2A5C&first=81&FORM=NVPFVR

Can the driver see the speedometer and use the tilt feature? There should be 10 inches between the air bag and the drivers’ chest for safety in case the air bag inflates. The drivers’ eyes should be at least 3 inches over the steering wheel for good visibility. Moving the seat up or adding a cushion could improve this. Steering wheel

Can the driver reach the pedals without using their toes? Are there any problems with depressing either pedal? Can the driver use quick speed and land well on the brake for a quick stop? For a manual transmission, can the driver depress the clutch and the brake to the floor without problem? Pedals

Does the rearview mirror frame the back window? Enhanced Mirror Settings greatly reduce blind spots if adjusted correctly. Can the driver move the neck enough to check for blind spots prior to completing a maneuver? Mirror use

Does the driver know where it is? Can the driver apply and release it? Parking brake

Can the driver manipulate the key well? Can the driver distinguish between just turning the ignition on and actually starting the vehicle? Ignition key

Can the driver independently: use the turn signals? headlights and high beams? emergency hazard lights? turn the steering wheel fully in both directions? use the windshield wipers and washer? activate the horn? Vehicle controls

CarFit uses a trained team, including occupational therapy practitioners, to assist older drivers with overall fit in the vehicle and good safety and use of the vehicles features. Community resources are offered also to encourage safe driving as long as possible. It is a 20-minute intervention that could be the beginning of life-saving conversations! Final Thoughts
