MONMOUTH — The Maine Mature Drivers Project, sanctioned by The Maine Bureau of Highway Safety, is offering a 90-minute presentation on safe driving.
The presentation, comprising 60 minutes of information and a 30-minute Q&A, is set for 10 a.m. Saturday, March 29, in the lower level of Cumston Hall at 796 Main St.. It is free to the public.
Presenter Dr. Tom Meuser is a clinical psychologist and applied gerontologist who recently retired from his role as founding director of University of New England Center for Excellence in Aging & Health. He’s a recognized expert in driver fitness in aging, having worked in this field for 25-plus years, according to a news release from Mary Beth Paquette, chair, Age-Friendly Monmouth.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
