“Roadwise Review,” a computer train­ing program, produced by the American Automobile Association, was created to help seniors continue to drive safely and maintain fitness behind the wheel. De­signed

by health and driving experts, the program is confidential and convenient while guiding participants through a se­ries of exercises that demonstrate how vi­sual, mental, and physical condition affect driving. After completing the program (which has been reloaded on one of the acces­sible Norfolk Senior Center computers), the participant receives a review with in­valuable feedback and suggestions to keep driving safely as well as longer. The exercises cover eight key areas including Leg Strength, Mobility, Head-Neck Flexibility, Visual Acuity, Processing Speed, and Memory. You simply insert the CD-ROM (under the first computer on the right as you enter our computer area), then click on the “Roadwise Review” icon conveniently located on the desktop. To get the maximum results, an additional person is needed to operate the mouse while one carries out the exercises. It takes 30 to 45 minutes to complete them (and some of them are actually fun), and the on-screen, step-by-step instructions help to make the training relatively easy to complete.
