Experts in the field of road safety will discuss the Highway Code, help you understand the new rules for safer driving and offer advice and information to support older driver safety.
Organised by Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership and hosted by Rob Heard, Older Drivers Forum, the 90-minute webinar called Warwickshire Older Driver’s Webinar: Understanding the changes to Highway Code is taking place on Thursday 5th May, 1.30 – 3.00pm.
