Older Driver Workshops

Are you over 65 and driving? Or have a parent who is?

The Older Driver Workshops, delivered by the fire service, are free sessions designed to help us all keep driving safely for longer.

They discuss how driving can become more challenging as we get older, and what simple checks we can do at home to keep ourselves fit to drive.

This interactive, two-hour session covers the following topics:
Age-related changes when driving
Eyesight and driving
Conducting a vehicle check
License renewal
Signs to be aware of
Alternatives to driving.

The Older Driver Workshop does not include a supervised drive.
