Age Concern running driving courses for those reaching age 75

from Checkpoint

Don't leave it too late and be prepared, that's the message to older drivers who need to prove they can safely stay on the roads once they hit 75. Age Concern runs 225 coaching courses a year for drivers approaching that key birthday; 75 is the age drivers have to renew their licence. The course offers safety advice, allows people to brush up on their skills and evaluates their ability. For some, a lot has changed since first got their licence. Hariata Hema, the national coordinator of Staying Safe spoke to Lisa Owen.
