Sunshine Club

Officer Duane Graham from the California Highway Patrol in Westminster will speak to the Sunshine Club about the Drive Safer, Drive Longer program on Friday, Dec. 5, at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2.

The Drive Safer, Drive Longer program helps equip senior drivers with the necessary tools to remain safe and confident on the road. It will cover various topics ranging from California driving laws, safe driving practices, and the effects of aging on a person’s ability to drive safely. It is not uncommon for senior drivers to be unaware or deny changes in their physical or mental conditions, which negatively affect their ability to drive safely. Therefore the Drive Safer, Drive Longer program was designed with a self-assessment component to assist senior drivers with identifying these changes and providing possible corrective options.

This presentation will provide an opportunity for residents to refresh their knowledge of California driving laws, evaluate their driving abilities and improve driving skills.

Graham has been employed by the California Highway Patrol for 14 years. He currently works for the Westminster offi ce, as the public information officer.

His duties include conducting media interviews, composing press releases, coordinating community outreach events, managing area-specific social media accounts, and conducting traffic safety programs.
