How could my wife sign up for an evaluation? We already have a script from her doctor.
I would like to schedule a driving evaluation. I recently completed AAA’s online seniors driving review. I do not live @ Brewster but I do live in Topeka. I’m 75 yr old. I don’t have any specifics issues that need special attention. I am aware of some issues I have. I just like to stay ahead of the curve so to speak. Thank You.
