Free Courses for drivers over 65 run by Merseyside Road Safety Partnership
121 Sessions- What does it involve- It is a free informal and confidential course, which aims to enhance your current driving skills. It is not a driving test, so there is no pass or fail. The instructor will discuss your requirements and concerns before the course and tailor sessions to meet your needs. They will look at the way you deal with various traffic situations on familiar roads and make recommendations to help ensure continual safety. Your tailor made course will be delivered in a two hour practical driving session.
Most drivers prefer to use their own vehicle, however if you wish, an appropriate fully insured manual or automatic vehicle can be provided. Please ring:
0151 606 2143 and speak to Kathy Hall, if you would like to book a 2 hour 121 course.
Group Workshop
They would also be willing to run a group workshop for us, we would need 8-25 people to run a course at our U3A. The session can take up to 2 hours depending on the size of the group. The work shop would cover 5 areas for the drivers to consider
- Life style
- Eyesight
- Mobility
- Public transport
- Driver assessment
The instructor will discuss each subject with the group give information and advice. The session is quite informal and lots of freebies and a work folder will be given out. We then have a go on the brake reaction tester which can become quite competitive!
If you are interested intake part in a group session please see Brenda McKenzie on a Tuesday morning or ring 0151 531 0207. We would probably look to September/October to run this course.
