❤️ Every journey with a grandchild is an opportunity to help keep them safe for life.

Whether you’re walking to school, fitting a child seat, talking about e-scooters or supporting a teenager learning to drive, the conversations you have today could influence decisions they make for years to come.

This free online webinar explores how grandparents can become trusted road safety mentors throughout every stage of childhood – from infancy to becoming a newly qualified driver. Packed with practical ideas, it will show how small, everyday conversations and positive role modelling can make a lasting difference.

🛴 New for 2026 is an important section explaining the law surrounding e-scooters and how grandparents can help young people make safe, informed choices.

Topics include:

✅ Understanding the Safe System
🚼 Child car seats and travelling safely
🚶 Helping children become safer pedestrians
🚲 Bikeability and school road safety education
🛴 E-scooters – the law, risks and safe choices
🚘 Supporting teenagers preparing to learn to drive
🎓 Young driver development after passing the driving test
💡 Practical ideas you can use immediately with children and teenagers of different ages

🎤 Special guest contributor: We are delighted to welcome Adrian Hopkins, Senior Instructor at the Under 17 Car Club and a Regional Observer for IAM RoadSmart. Adrian will share his experience of helping young people develop safe driving skills before they start learning to drive, together with practical advice on supporting newly qualified drivers as they build confidence and experience.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 This webinar will also be valuable for parents, carers and anyone supporting children and young people.

📥 Following the webinar, attendees will be able to download summary notes, useful links and additional guidance from the Older Drivers Forum Gloucestershire website.

🌟 You may never know it, but one conversation, one journey or one piece of gentle advice could one day help save a grandchild’s life.

Summer is the season when many of us travel further afield to visit family and friends, enjoy a day out, or take a well-earned holiday.

For many drivers, these journeys involve unfamiliar roads, busy tourist areas, motorways, roadworks and higher traffic volumes. They may also mean driving for longer periods than we are used to during the rest of the year.

At the same time, warmer summer weather can create its own challenges, including driver fatigue, dehydration, and sunlight glare.

In this practical and supportive webinar, we will share advice to help you prepare, travel safely and confidently, and arrive relaxed.

Topics include:

✅ Preparing yourself and your vehicle for longer summer journeys
✅ Planning safer and less stressful routes
✅ Driving safely on motorways
✅ Managing fatigue, concentration and hydration

Summer is a time when many of us are out on the roads more often – and when both risk and cost tend to increase.

Longer days, warmer weather and more journeys bring greater freedom – but also new challenges. Traffic levels increase, road conditions change, and there are more vulnerable road users to be aware of.

At the same time, rising fuel costs are leading many drivers to ask how they can drive more efficiently, without compromising safety.

In this practical and supportive webinar, we will share simple, real-world advice to help you:

• Anticipate seasonal hazards and drive more safely on busy summer roads
• Understand how to safely approach and pass horse riders
• Use smoother driving techniques to improve fuel efficiency
• Prepare your vehicle for summer conditions
• Plan journeys that reduce stress and cost
• Feel more confident and relaxed behind the wheel

We aim to help you make small, practical changes that can make a real difference to your safety, your confidence, and your driving costs.

Feedback from recent webinars shows the impact of these sessions:

• 100% of attendees in our cyclists session found it quite or extremely useful
• 98% said the same for our motorcyclist-focused webinar

We look forward to welcoming both new and returning attendees.

This free one-hour community webinar is open to anyone who wants to feel safer, more confident, and more in control when driving this summer.

• With riders in the 41-to-69 age group

• During turns and manoeuvres
• Particularly in Spring and Summer

Often it is small changes in awareness and observation that can make a life-saving difference.

This practical session will provide simple, real-world ways to feel more confident when sharing the road with cyclists.

We will explore:

• Where and when cyclists are most at risk
