With Road Safety Week fast approaching in May, Nick was interested in having a discussion with Jim surrounding his philosophy on the topic, and the results and insights were quite intriguing. In this short interview, Jim highlights the dangers of unreviewed and untested aging drivers on the road and to assist those who are concerned with the status of both their own driving skills or the driving skills of an aging loved one, Jim shares some simple tips to ensure our roads and our aging community remains safe.

As well sharing a personal connection and closeness with his dad which filters through clearly in the interview, Nick also discovers in his interview with Jim that there is much to consider when thinking about issues impacting the elderly, discovering that not only have times changed but the home care and driving services available now provide freedom and care for everyone impacted in the community, so that connections remain and that isolation is less of a factor to contend with.
