The oldest of the baby boomer generation has reached retirement age this year, but older Americans will not be retiring from driving any time soon. In fact, by 2030, an estimated one out of every five drivers in the U.S. will be over the age of 65. In honor of May as Older Americans Month, AAA encourages mature drivers and their families to get ahead of the curve by taking advantage of new technologies to keep them motoring safely. http://www.aaaaz.com/news/travel/OAM2011.htm http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Tue, 20 Sep 2011 15:17:01 -0700 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 15:16:33 -0700 FeedForAll v2.0 (2.0.3.1) http://www.feedforall.com Homecoming is one of the most memorable times of the year for high school students.
