Should over-70s face compulsory health tests before being allowed behind the wheel? After a spate of accidents involving elderly drivers, the Medical Minefield team investigate whether stricter rules are needed, talking to Nigel Lloyd Jones (Co-organiser for Gloucestershire Older Drivers Forum), who lost his mother in an accident involving his elderly stepfather behind the wheel, and speaking to Sergeant Rob Heard, a retired policeman and founder and chair of the Older Drivers Forum, who argues that stricter rules are needed to deal with drivers (of any age) whose health makes them pose a risk to other motorists.

Drivers Skills Scheme 60+ Virtual Open Day (Hampshire residents only)

Zoom Webinar

We’re inviting older motorists to join our Road Safety colleagues on the Driver Skills Scheme 60+ Virtual Open Day on Wednesday 19th May 2021 (10.30am to 12 noon).

This will be your chance to find out more about the scheme and to decide whether a driving appraisal will suit you. While we know that older drivers are generally safe as a group, we can all become complacent about our driving and pick up bad habits which, if not addressed, can increase the risk of an incident on the roads.

This webinar is FREE to register and offers a detailed look at what is involved in one of our driving appraisals and how it has helped many drivers over the past few years. It will explain when an assessment could be advisable and how to arrange one. There will also be an opportunity to put questions to the experts, including the Chairman of the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Older Drivers Forum.
