A new video, launched by Driving Mobility, aims to help older drivers stay safe at the wheel for as long as possible.
The launch follows last week's presentation and safety recommendations to the House of Commons by the Older Drivers Task Force.
Identifying individual issues and needs is key to keeping an older motorist safe, according to Sgt Rob Heard of Hampshire Police, who established the award-winning Older Drivers Forum in 2013. It's also vital that drivers – and their loved ones – are aware of the resources available to help them.
"This video is designed to provide useful information for drivers who need to attend an assessment at a driving mobility centre," Sgt Heard explained. "At the same time it should help drivers put aside any worries they may have about the assessment and what will be expected of them.
Neil Worth, road safety officer for GEM Motoring Assist, said: "If there were evidence that older drivers were more likely to cause collisions, then the Government would have restricted their licences or insisted on compulsory re-training by now.
