• Drive at the posted speed limit or stay in the right lane if you are driving slower. If you feel that cars are going too fast, switch to a different route.
• Drive defensively and yield the right-of-way.
• Do not drive when you are tired.
• Pace yourself. Take a break after every 1 1/2 to two hours of driving. Get out of the car and stretch. Be sure to drink adequate amounts of water.
• If you need eyeglasses to drive, wear them each time you take a trip, even if it's only a short distance.

Traffic regulations sometimes change. Contact your state department of motor vehicles and request the latest rules of the road. You may wish to take a driver's education "refresher" course. Organizations offer classes in many cities to update the mature driver.
