AARP Driver Safety Courses cover a broad range of driver safety tips. One tip that can keep you safe for years is to get a car that properly fits YOU. Larger people in a tiny car and smaller people in a massive car are obvious mismatches. But there are more things to consider.
Newer vehicles have a vast array of options available to help drivers. Hearing impair drivers may choose a device that picks out sirens and car horns, then gives a visual indication to help the driver. Other safety devices like rearview cameras and backup proximity sensors let the driver know that it is safe to proceed.
Choose a vehicle that seems to fit you and your personality. Then rent that model with similar features for a week or weekend to make certain the fit is good. This gives the driver time to check the fit and to think about the purchase.
This process may not work as well for used cars as a great deal can be lost by waiting. Get a good idea of what you want by renting very early in the process.
Best of success in your car search!
