Older drivers

Older motorists have a wealth of driving experience and driving offers freedom and independence, but as we get older our health and fitness, including eyesight and reaction times begin to decline.


We are offering our popular 'driving safer for longer' information sessions to Derbyshire residents aged 50 years and older.
