Driving Safely for Longer is back
A presentation to support older drivers and their family and friends
The Gloucestershire Older Drivers Forum are running regular presentations to support older drivers and their family and friends with useful advice.
Are you an older driver finding our fast moving, high volume, summer traffic a bit of a challenge?
Would you like advice on how to keep driving safely for longer?
Are you a family member or friend concerned about an older driver?
If so the Older Drivers Forum provides a popular free ZOOM webinars and attend for Face to Face events that could be helpful. Below are thoughts previous attendees have said about our webinars:
One attendee said:

DRIVING SAFELY ON RURAL ROADS
This popular zoom webinars return at 10am on Saturday 25th May
Starting conversations with a family member about retiring from driving can be challenging, especially if they are unaware or complacent about their declining driving skills.
This webinar is intended for families, friends, and carers concerned about a mature driver. Advice includes how to:
- Start meaningful conversations with the person of concern
- Keep them driving safely for longer, including information on the impact of medications and dementia on fitness to drive
- Plan for when it is time for them to retire from driving
We are delighted that Bobby Oliver from Driving Mobility will be a guest contributor. Driving Mobility provide DVLA approved assessments for drivers with mobility and cognitive issues. They also provide a subsidised, mobility, advice service for drivers planning to retire from driving. www.drivingmobility.org.uk
