DRIVING SAFELY IN SPRING 

BIKER AWARE   

This popular series of zoom webinars returns at 10am on Saturday 23 March    

31 March is Easter Sunday and when the clocks go forward. This also marks the traditional start of motorcyclists’ riding season. Bikers are one of the most vulnerable road user groups in Gloucestershire, accounting for 22% of all fatalities.

This webinar provides information for mature drivers on how to become more biker aware, and how to adjust to the seasonal challenges of Spring driving.

A guest presenter will be PC Shelley Holloway, from the Gloucestershire Constabulary Roads Policing Unit, and is an advanced police motorcyclist.

Over the holiday period have you spent time with a family member or friend and noticed that they are more anxious about driving?

• Are you becoming uncomfortable with them being your children’s taxi service?
• Have you had scarry moments with your partner at the wheel?

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
• Plan for them to retire from driving

This includes information on the impact of medications and dementia on fitness to drive.
