Places still available for free mature drivers’ roadshow

Thursday, 25 August 2022 22:55

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

Driving is an essential part of our everyday lives; however, our driving ability can change as we grow older, and it’s therefore important to recognise this to ensure we keep ourselves and those around us safe on the roads.

Following the success of their first Mature Drivers Roadshow in May, partners from the Northamptonshire Safer Roads Alliance are holding a second FREE event on September 13 at The Goods Shed in John Clark Way, Rushden.

Aimed at drivers aged 60 and over, the roadshow will cover different aspects of driving, and there will be an opportunity to get FREE advice on car adaptions, eyesight, the effects of prescription medications and much more as well as the chance to take part in a FREE IAM RoadSmart Mature Driver Assessment.

There will be two sessions at 9.30am and 1.30pm and FREE tickets can be booked via Eventbrite: https://mature-drivers.eventbrite.co.uk
