Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service are set to host a series of "Older Driver Workshops" from March - May.
The workshops are designed for anyone who is aged 65 and over and is still driving.
At the workshops, the team at Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service will talk about how the challenges of driving as you get older, as well as how to make sure we all stay safe on the roads.
Some of the topics that will be discussed in the sessions include:
- Age-related changes when driving
- Eyesight and driving
- Conducting a vehicle check
- License renewal
- Signs to be aware of
- Alternatives to driving
There won't be any supervised drives during the two hour sessions, but they will be interactive and have plenty of activities and refreshments.
