In the heart of Franklin, the local police department is geared up to directly engage with the community in a bid to bolster the safety of senior drivers on our roads. Somerby Franklin, located at 870 Oak Meadow Dr., will be the meeting ground for an informative CarFit event tomorrow, as reported by the City of Franklin website.
Focused exclusively on education rather than evaluation, CarFit offers a unique platform where older drivers can quickly learn to adjust their vehicles to their evolving needs. CarFit specialists will take a mere 20 minutes to walk participants through a range of vehicle adjustments—from the proper seat belt use to the correct placement of mirrors—all crafted to significantly reduce risk on the roads. Safety is paramount, and the Franklin Police Department invites the public to take part in this preventive measure.
It's essential to highlight that drivers should not mistake this for a driving test or a mechanical inspection. The Franklin Police Department emphasizes that the goal is to help "motorists understand how to operate a vehicle safely." The CarFit event is anticipated to be met with high participation, and for those interested, details can be found on the City of Franklin website.
