Answer 2

yes:
1. Have any one over the age of 70 have a drivers test every 5 years.

Answer 3

Following all traffic laws. Refrain from doing other things while driving(ie dont talk on the cell, put on makeup, read the paper etc)Avoid driving in inclement weather unless absolutely neccisary

Answer 4

Make sure to have a leash that you put on them if you take them out of the car during a rest stop. If you have them loose in the car and need to get out, they could escape. Crating them in a carrier is good. Put a blanket or towel in it. Have water and little bits of food. And of course a portable litter box. Maybe practice by taking them on slightly longer rides in the car for awhile before you move to see how they react.

Answer 5

Become a defensive driver,ie, always be aware of what the other drivers around you are doing,ie, speeding, not using their mirrors etc. Do the speed limit, don't talgate and learn to merge into traffic on the freeway onramps.
