Buying a car is one of the biggest purchase decisions a person will make in their lifetime. While many consumers focus on the sticker price, there are many other costs associated with new car ownership to consider. AAA’s annual Your Driving Costs research offers comprehensive information on the expenses associated with new vehicle ownership beyond the sticker price. The data is intended to help buyers make an informed decision, whether they’re a first time buyer or a veteran of car buying.
For the full report, visit AAA.com/Auto/Your-Driving-Costs-2020.
On October 1, 2021, Pennsylvanians will need a REAL ID- compliant license, identification card, or other form of federally- acceptable identification (such as a valid passport) to board domestic commercial flights or visit a federal building or military base without a secondary form of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) approved identification.
To apply for a REAL ID, residents will need to present original versions or certified copies of the following documents, per federal regulations:
Proof of Identity
Example: original or certified copy of a birth certificate with a raised/embossed seal — not sticker — or a valid U.S. Passport
Proof of Social Security Number
Example: social security card
Proof of all legal name changes
Example: certified marriage certificate or court order issued by county’s family court (must show a complete name change history that links birth certificate to current name)
Two proofs of current, physical PA residence
Example: current, unexpired PA license or ID, PA vehicle registration, auto insurance card, utility bill with the same name and address
A standard PA driver’s license will still be acceptable for driving and other general identification purposes. PA residents age 18 and older will need to obtain a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or photo ID or provide another form of federally accepted identification (such as a passport, passport card, or military ID) for boarding domestic commercial flights and visiting a federal facility.
For more information on REAL ID, please visit dmv.pa.gov/REALID.

Experience counts. And seniors are the most experienced drivers on the road. They have fewer accidents and tend to drive safer cars. However, drivers aged 70 years and older have higher rates of fatal crashes, based on miles driven, than any other group except drivers who are 16 to
19 years old.
If you have concerns about an elderly parent or friend driving, you may want to be aware of a few signs of possible unsafe driving behavior. Some indicators include drivers who:
• Have small dents, scratches, or other marks on their car.
• May have trouble reading or seeing road signs while driving. • Are easily distracted or startled while driving.
• Have difficulty turning their head from left to right.
• Experience loss of hearing.
Online quizzes and interactive driving evaluation courses from groups, such as AAA, can also help drivers evaluate their skills. Other resources can be found at SeniorDriving.AAA.com.
