FREE WEBINAR – Driving Safely on Rural Roads

DRIVING SAFELY ON RURAL ROADS

This popular series of zoom webinars returns

at 10am on Saturday 27 April    

Conventional wisdom is to drive as much as possible on motorways and dual carriageways as these are the safest classification of roads.

However, if you live in a rural county, there is no option but to regularly use rural roads which are statistically more dangerous. Over a 5-year period Gloucestershire Highways report 34% of all road casualties are on unclassified roads.  .

In this month’s webinar we share information on how to drive safely on rural roads, with updates on general advice about mature driver safety.

     The webinars are free to join, use zoom, but a zoom account is not required.

      To register click HERE or e-mail odfglos@gmail.com with your name and the

      email address you would like the joining instructions sent to and tell us your top

      three rural road safety concerns.

Places are limited so if you register and then are unable to attend please
