Everyone ages differently, but that doesn’t mean you have to hang up those keys just yet! HERE ARE SOME SAFETY TIPS FOR OLDER DRIVERS. Aging does not automatically mean a total loss of driving ability! There are many ways older individuals can continue driving safely, including modifying the car, altering the way they drive, and addressing any physical issues that can interfere with driving. Consider the following: • Get your eyes and ears checked every year and wear glasses or contacts as directed. • Avoid driving at night and in bad weather. • Drive only in familiar places or only within a certain radius of home. • Stay off highways. • Discuss any medical conditions with a doctor that may affect driving — e.g., medication that causes dizziness, sleepiness, confusion, or fatigue. It’s normal for driving abilities to change as we get older. But if you consider these tips and know the signs of unsafe driving, you can adjust your driving or make the decision to leave behind the keys!
DIRECTIONS
1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper. 2. In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, peanut butter, and softened butter. Mix until evenly combined. 3. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the lined cookie sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until firm. 4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate candy coating in increments of 30 seconds, stirring occasionally until smooth. 5. In the same bowl, use skewers to dip peanut butter balls into the chocolate before placing them on a lined cookie sheet so they can harden. 6. Chill until ready and then serve!
