Introduction

Following the welcome and briefing, all participants will attend a Safer Driving Workshop led by two highly experienced road safety professionals.

Workshop topics include:

Speed awareness – understanding appropriate speeds (30s/40s) and conversely making progress (60s/70s)
Road signs – recognition and interpretation
Roundabouts – including spiral layouts, mini-roundabouts, and lane discipline
Hazard perception and observation techniques
Driver assistance technologies in modern vehicles – such as collision warning systems, adaptive cruise control and eCall emergency response systems

These subjects have been identified as key areas of concern for many older drivers.

Observed Drive

This is not a driving test or formal assessment. Instead, it's an opportunity to drive a pre-planned route that includes a variety of road types, all under the guidance of an Approved Driving Instructor.

During the drive, the instructor will offer tips and advanced driving techniques to help participants improve their anticipation, awareness, and overall confidence. Particular focus is placed on roundabout navigation (including spiral layouts and lane discipline), which many older drivers find challenging.

Each session element runs for approximately 80 minutes. Participants will drive vehicles provided by our partners, including the chance to experience a fully electric vehicle.
