After analyzing the driving statistics of 500,000 drivers over the age of 50, the insur ance company’s findings are so favorable that it is offer ing auto insurance with guar anteed lifetime renewal fea tures to drivers age 50 and over. Based on patterns found among safe drivers, Colonial Penn Insurance Company has compiled these safety tips for mature motorists: 1. Don’t try to drive great distances in one day. Limit a long trip to a series of short drives. This eliminates fatigue and the danger of monotony caused by long hours behind the wheel. 2. Limit each day’s drive to five or six hours and no more than 250 to 300 miles. 3. Avoid super highways that require you to drive at constant high speeds. 4. Use secondary roads that have lighter traffic. They often offer the advantage of a more scenic trip.
