Mature Driver Assessments
Warwickshire County Council in collaboration with key partners want to ensure older drivers have access to practical advice, support, and information to help them stay on the road and enjoy independent lives for as long as it is safe to do so.
Partners working in collaboration with IAM RoadSmart are offering older drivers, 65+ and residing in Warwickshire a free Mature Driver Assessment.
The Mature Driver Assessments are an opportunity for older drivers to gain a trusted second opinion on their driving and consist of a 60-minutes informal driving assessment that includes information, advice, and support to keep drivers safely on the road. These assessments enable experienced older drivers to reflect on their own driving, increase confidence in their ability and to consider alternatives to driving should they choose. They can offer older drivers and their family’s reassurance prior to renewing driving licences at 70.
Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership is taking part in a national evaluation of these mature driver reviews which aim to improve road safety across the UK. The partnership is looking for 50 drivers residing in Warwickshire, aged 65+ to take part. The mature driver review assessment will be offered free, worth £85, but as part of this process, you will be asked to complete a short, anonymised online questionnaire and driving quiz before and after the review.
For more information about booking a review and participating in this national evaluation, please visit our dedicated Mature Driver Review National Evaluation page or email your name and contact details to admin@pacts.org.uk.
