OLDER people are being offered a place on a free course aimed at reducing accidents involving the over 65s.

The course has been developed by Lancashire County Council to boost confidence and improve safety for older people.

The number of under 65s hurt on the roads has fallen over the past five years in Lancashire, but this has not been matched by a corresponding reduction in older casualties.

For more information contact Lancashire County Council's Road Safety Team on 01772 456412 or email olderdrivers@lancashire.gov.uk.
