How is Lifelong Driver different?

Lifelong Driver is the only leading driver safety-program that targets the top five causes of mature-driver crashes.

Lifelong Driver was introduced in 2011 by ADEPT Driver, the creator of teenSMART, a teen driver safety program proven to reduce teen-driver crashes.

After years of extensive research, the Lifelong Driver team of leading scientists, doctors and traffic-safety experts has identified the five major causes of age-related collisions:

1. Judging safe gaps in traffic, especially when making left-hand turns at intersections

2. Determining adequate distances from other vehicles when merging and making lane changes

3. Detecting hazards and dealing with distractions while driving

4. Identifying and remembering relevant objects while driving

5. Dealing with complex driving environments, like busy intersections and parking lots

Lifelong Driver measures and improves the ability to avoid these types of crashes.

The result is a program that:

Helps mature drivers identify problem areas
Improves driving skills
Helps you avoid collisions
Helps you keep your license longer

With Lifelong Driver, you'll notice an immediate improvement in the way you drive.

Keeping mature drivers on the road longer & more safely

Improving or simply maintaining your present skills is far easier than trying to regain them after they're gone.

The loss of driving privileges can gravely affect a person's self-esteem and independence, not to mention creating physical and emotional isolation from friends and family. Yet many older drivers fail to recognize or admit that their driving skills may not be what they once were.

We help by providing a program which is:

Positive
Information is presented and skills improved in a self-paced, supportive fashion

Easy-to-use
Learning and progressing are as simple as point-and-click

Realistic
Drivers improve their behind-the-wheel skills through the use of real-life driving simulations

The Results
In recent studies, drivers 60+ who completed Lifelong Driver reported:

Lifelong Driver exercises are relevant to their driving experience
Lifelong Driver will extend their safe-driving life
Lifelong Driver has improved their driving skills
- Noticing vehicles in mirrors and blind spots
- Spotting hazards and potential hazards
- Determining sufficient gaps in oncoming traffic
- Making safe lane changes

Correct mirror adjustment was a revelation for me and will greatly lessen my risk of a collision when changing lanes. The recognition exercises were well-done.— JD, Sapulpa, OK

I have taken other driving courses for seniors and always passed, but with this one I learned much more that will always stay with me. Individually you were more involved, instead of a teacher telling you what you should do.— LV, Mesa, AZ

I was skeptical of the program but was amazed at how much more aware I am while driving. I have always thought of myself as a good driver, this program has sharpened thought process. The driving simulations are the key, and I noticed I find myself visually searching for possible hazards much more now.— DN, Mesa, AZ

The course was fun, useful, and enjoyable. It gave me opportunities to correct my mistakes.— JL, Cornville, AZ

Excellent program easy to use and clear and concise instructions.— JW, Broken Arrow, OK

The practical exercises are as amazingly near as could be got to the real thing!— CB, Kalispell, MT

Lifelong Driver's real-life driving simulations are exceptional. My wife and I enjoyed “driving” each module and improved our skills, learned better hazard detection and gained improved distance judgment. We are now better drivers. Why can't all software be this good? Thanks, Lifelong Driver!— Murry and Esther S., Roseville, CA

This course has heightened my level of awareness. I am more confident as a result of Lifelong driver.— CD, Sun City West, AZ

Some of the visual driving questions were hard, but as I did them I got a lot quicker at recognizing threatening situations. Thank you for the good work!— AG, Mesa, AZ

Very nice program that helped me become more proficient at spotting "gaps" and judging distances.— CH, Phoenix, AZ

It was a very unexpected, good surprise at how beneficial the Lifelong program turned out to be and I'm only 56. The way the program is set up takes a little getting use to but it's really worth the time and effort investment. When they say that they rewire your brain, it's true. As I drive now, my mind uses the term "potential hazard" or "immediate hazard" to identify hazards and I smile to myself knowing it's the video program that has imprinted this in my mind. I've adjusted my steering wheel since it was aimed at my head instead of my chest. Many of the topics covered are really good reminders and a good review of things we may have forgotten over the years. Thanks for producing such a great product that is effective and done efficiently so my time wasn't wasted.— KC, Cornville, AZ

Lessons are well thought out and easy to navigate.— CL, Scottsdale, AZ

This program is great! I really enjoyed the simulations.— MWM, Payson, AZ

Lifelong Driver is user friendly and provides valuable information and skills practice to improve and enhance driving. — DW, Sunset, AZ

It was really good. More difficult than I thought it would be, but I learned a lot. Really good course. Thank you.— RM, Phoenix, AZ

The adjusting of the mirrors was most beneficial !!!!!!! Great tool for seniors to use. I must say, at first it made me very nervous doing the exercises! The tutorials and roadmap changed all my fears in fouling up! Great program ! ! !— RS, Tucson, AZ

Even after driving 45 years, I learned some excellent tips on improving my driving skills. Thank you!— RB, Glendale, AZ

The course was interesting and informative. The information on how to adjust rear view mirrors was new to me, and very helpful.— JA, Phoenix, AZ

I was surprised on how much real life driving content was in the program. It really makes you concentrate while using the program.— DO, Billings, MT

Great Driving program AAAAA+++++— HY, Goodyear, AZ

My son, who is a retired California Highway Patrolman, sent the Lifelong Driver program to us with his recommendations. After viewing and completing the program, we felt the information and exercises contained in the program were extremely beneficial to fine tuning and reinforcing our driving skills that had diminished over time. The knowledge contained in the program has given both of us the confidence to continue our driving into the future. We especially liked the parking lot exercises.— Ira and Ann L., O'Fallon, IL

I plan on going through these exercises every year just to keep on top of my driving skills. I really liked the rearview mirror advice. I'd been doing it wrong all this time! Thanks!— ML, Kalispell, MT

A very good refresher! Glad I did this.— BA, La Quinta, CA

The sections utilizing driving scenarios on the computer screen, were very helpful in recognizing traffic gaps and hazards was very helpful. I learned how to adjust mirrors properly. I have been doing that task incorrectly for years.— DG, Sunset, AZ

This was a great program which has enhanced my awareness of potential risks on the road. Great refresher course for any driver.— DM, Payson, AZ

Taking the course was a challenge that improved my perceptions as a driver. I feel safer and more confident while driving.— JW, Broken Arrow, OK

The "speakers/facilitators" on the video were great, helping us to relax, and gave many helpful tips to help people improve their driving. Was a great refresher for people over 60. Overall, was pleasant and most helpful! There were many ways to reinforce/practice what we learned.— ML, Prescott, AZ

I found myself telling passengers in my car that "there is a hazard", "not enough time to turn", etc. Before I just drove (and drove well) but now I am more conscious of these things.— CC, Muskogee, OK
