Northamptonshire Safer Roads Alliance to host FREE mature driver roadshow on Tuesday, May 2, 2023

Are you a mature driver who relies on being able to drive and lives in Northamptonshire? Then this FREE roadshow is for you!

Driving is an important part of our everyday life, and the Northamptonshire Safer Roads Alliance (NSRA) is keen to help keep mature drivers drive safer for longer.

Our driving ability to drive changes over time for varied reasons, especially as we get older. It is important that we recognise whether and how our driving is changing so we can stay safe and protect both ourselves and those around us.

The NSRA’s Mature Driver Roadshow is aimed at drivers aged 60+ and will cover all distinct aspects of driving. There will be a short talk and then time to meet informally with our stand holders.

Free advice will be available on car adaptions, eyesight, how your prescription medications may affect you, and much more. There will also be FREE IAM RoadSmart Mature Driver Assessments available to book.

The roadshow takes place on Tuesday, May 2, at Northamptonshire Police Headquarters, Wootton Hall, Northampton NN4 0JQ (https://what3words.com/bill.necks.boxer).

Book your FREE tickets for either the 9.30am or 1pm session via Eventbrite: https://mature-drivers-2023.eventbrite.co.uk
