This week we ran the above three webinars to help and support mature motorists to carry on driving safely for longer. They were very successful with great feedback being received for all three.

Extremely useful and informative. This is definitely one of the better webinars I’ve attended over the past few months, both in presentation and content.

The Best Cars for Senior drivers

Posted on by

A US website called Cars.Com have written an article about the best cars for Senior Drivers. Although written for the US, still relevant for the UK and some good ideas and safety tips as well. Worth a read. Click here to read the article. Just remember that if you change from a manual to an automatic, we would always recommend undertaking taking some lessons with a driving instructor to get use to driving with an automatic. Unfortunately, we see far too many incidents of pedal confusion occurring when people suddenly change to an automatic and they revert to previous manual experience in a sudden decision making event.
