We run a number of workshops aimed at older drivers: Staying Safe, which is a short refresher of the Road Rules; Life Without a Car workshop is for those thinking of giving up driving (or who have given up) to explore how they can continue to get around and remain socially connected; and CarFit, which is an AA programme that shows older drivers how to be 'fitted' as safely and comfortably in their car as possible.
