LAKEPORT, Calif. – Every year, drivers 65 years of age and older look to the California Highway Patrol for assistance in maintaining or improving their ability to drive safely.

In response, the CHP provides the “Age Well, Drive Smart” program to equip senior drivers with the necessary tools to remain safe and confident on the road.

The Age Well, Drive Smart program covers various topics ranging from California driving laws, safe driving practices, and the effects of aging on a person’s ability to drive safely.

The Clear Lake Area CHP invites senior drivers to attend a free, two-hour Age Well, Drive Smart class, which will be held Monday, Oct. 23, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

The class will be held at the Lakeport Senior Center, 527 Konocti Ave. in Lakeport.

This class is an excellent opportunity for senior drivers to refresh their knowledge of California driving laws, evaluate their driving abilities, and improve their driving skills.

If you or a family member would like to attend the Age Well, Drive Safe class, please contact Officer Kory Reynolds at 707-279-0103 or by email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., space is limited.
