Free monthly mature driver course keeping over 65s safer on the road
--
Pembrokeshire County Council’s Road Safety department is offering free monthly mature driver courses for residents aged 65 plus.
The course, held at Haverfordwest Fire Station, includes a classroom based morning and a practical driving session with an approved instructor to help address any personal concerns drivers have now and for the future.
In the classroom attendees will hold informal discussions, watch safety films and refresh their knowledge of the Highway Code and its updates, a great chance to highlight any bad driving habits developed over the years and help keep people driving safer for longer.
After this a driving lesson will be arranged within two weeks of the session and will cover any aspects of driving the participant wishes to address, from parallel parking to roundabouts, as well as general safer driving techniques.
There is no assessment or test and the course is not a formal assessment of someone’s driving!
Thanks to Road Safety Grant funding from Welsh Government the course is free of charge to residents of Pembrokeshire.
Road Safety Officer, Sally Jones, said: “We are very proud of our mature driver course, which is delivered in a friendly, relaxed environment. Our aim is to keep residents of Pembrokeshire driving safer, for longer.
“The course is always well attended and those who participate are always positive about their experience on the course and the information they have gained.” Call 01437 775144 or email road.safety@pembrokeshire.gov.uk for more info and to sign up.
