Overview

The car plays an important role in every period of human life. It has accompanied mankind for more than 130 years and is hardly possible to imagine today’s world without it. During his long history, he became a helper and entertainment. The mobility that a person acquires thanks to a car needs not only during his active work and social life, but also at an older age. Neither seniors do not want to lose the possibility to travel comfortably and the help with their duties, even though they are aware of the potential danger and the need to do everything they can to make their journey safe and sure returns.
