Presented by

Momiji / JSS / Yee Hong Centre

Wed. July 12, 2023, 3:00 – 4:15 pm

(English & Japanese)

The first session of this month of our e-Learning seminar series hosted by Momiji Health Care Society and Japanese Social Services (JSS), joined by Yee Hong Centre for Geriatric Care to learn about Road safety for drivers, inviting Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). *Held in English and Japanese

What is this session about?

Summer is the season where many people travel around by car. While it is fun and gives you a flexibility, driving may come with variety of safety risks and unwanted issues. In this session, you will learn from the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) officers about types of troubles on road and what to do when you (your driver) face those troubles.

This session covers:

– what to be mindful about when driving on local road / highway or under certain weather/temperature

– what to do when

• your car is disabled or involved in an accident (incl. tow truck laws)
• you got ticketed especially out of town (does hiring a traffic/criminal lawyer help?)

– Senior’s driver’s license (age 80+)

– How your license can be suspended, what to do if you suspect someone being incompetent to drive

– Car safety (e.g. over night kits, vehicle maintenance checks)
