Driver Seat—The World’s First Senior Driving Simulator

Sometimes the best way to understand our aging loved ones is to drive a mile in their shoes. Adult children sometimes lack a full awareness of the challenges—visual decline, reduced mobility, poor reaction time—that their senior parents face behind the wheel.

Get in the Driver Seat.

Now, for the first time, Liberty Mutual has created Driver Seat, a flash-based video game that allows players of all ages to experience first-hand the physical and cognitive limitations that older drivers deal with on the road. Check out your own skill level at www.libertymutual.com/driverseat.

It’s not a simple as it seems.

Busy intersections, crossing pedestrians and rainy conditions may appear routine to middle-aged drivers, but to seniors, they make simple operations such as parking, negotiating turns and reading signs fraught with hazards. See for yourself as you test your hand-eye coordination, reflexes and ability to follow directions in urban, suburban and wilderness driving scenarios at three levels of increasing impairment, from 65 to 85 years old. You may be surprised!

A perfect conversation starter

A recent national survey by Liberty Mutual reveals that seniors are open to talking about driving safety, but nearly 90% report never having had these conversations with their adult children, 58% of whom believe their parents would be too uncomfortable and 38% fearing their anger. Driver Seat offers a perfect vehicle for empowering adult children and their parents to begin discussing safety issues and choosing transportation options that make sense for the entire family.
