Today, Wednesday 26th March 2025, BBC Morning Live ran a piece about when to retire from driving hosted by Angela Rippon. To watch the piece on BBC I-Player click here. The piece starts at 38:20

During the programme they spoke to 85 year old Rose and her daughter Rachel. Rose decided to retire from driving as she no longer felt confident behind the wheel. Our national chair, Rob Heard MBE, also appeared talking about eyesight and driving as well as how we can make sure we are medically fit to drive.
Rose made this decision to retire from driving with her daughter after attending an online webinar ran by the Gloucestershire Older Drivers Forum called ‘Concerned about an Older Driver? We can help?’
This is an extremely positive and supportive webinar for not only mature and older drivers, but also concerned family and friends, it is well worth a watch. Below is link to a recorded version of the webinar.
