Staying Safe – Refresher Drving Course for Older Drivers

Age Concern South Canterbury offers a free “Staying Safe” Refresher Course for senior drivers.
Have you got years of experience behind the wheel?

When did you last have a refresher course for your driving? Have you kept up with changes to the road code? Do you know how ageing can affect your driving? Or do you just want to check in to see if you still are the best driver, you can be?

Staying Safe is a free classroom course to help you re-familiarise yourself with the latest road rules and safe driving practices. It will increase your confidence and knowledge about other transport options and help you remain independent for longer.

We want to help people keep safe on the road and enjoy the independence driving gives them.”
“We know senior drivers are involved in fewer crashes than other age groups as they often drive conservatively and travel less distances, but if they are involved in crashes it can be more serious for them as it takes longer to heal and recover.”

Staying Safe Courses are theory-based and a great opportunity for you to refresh your knowledge about driving. You don’t drive in the car and there are no tests. The learning modules are fun and interactive. They have been specifically designed for seniors.
