Sign up to new driving course for older folk
4:34pm Wednesday 20th June 2012 in Chorley
Places are available on a course which aims to keep older people driving safely for longer.
The Drive Safely for Longer course has been developed by the county council to boost confidence and improve safety for older drivers.
In Lancashire, there has been a reduction in road user casualties among people aged under 65 during the past five years, but this has not been matched by a corresponding reduction in older casualties.
There are 100 spaces left on the free course which will be allocated on a first come-first served basis.
More information is available by contacting Lancashire County Council’s road safety team on 01772 456412 or by email at olderdrivers @lancashire.gov.uk.
