Community Webinar
‘Driving Safely in Autumn. Grandparents – the Mentors.’ 

With the ongoing media debate about changes to young driver licenses have you been thinking about how you can mentor your grandchildren around road safety?

Along with advice on driving safely in autumn we will include suggestions on what you could do. Rod Harrison from Gloucestershire Advanced Motorists will be a guest presenter and will talk about the free young drivers’ courses and other road safety initiatives that are available, funded by Gloucestershire FIRE.
