SFCC plans CarFit event Nov. 14
AVON PARK -- South Florida Community College's Retired and Senior Volunteer Program will hold a CarFit event from 8 a.m. until noon on Saturday, Nov. 14, in parking lot D of the SFCC Highlands Campus.
CarFit is designed to help older drivers determine how well they fit in their personal vehicle, highlight actions they can take to improve their fit, and promote conversations about driver safety and community mobility. A proper fit in one's personal vehicle can greatly increase not only the driverís safety but also the safety of others.
"Older drivers are more likely to be injured in accidents," said Kris Schmidt, RSVP coordinator. "If you have a good fit, your chances of being in an accident are reduced."
Contact Schmidt at 784-7189.
