A group that helps older drivers stay safe on our roads is holding three free webinars this month.

Hosted by the Older Drivers Forum, the webinars will look at what can be done to address concerns about older drivers, impairment and driver eyesight.

The final webinar is part of an ongoing campaign to highlight the importance of good vision when it comes to road safety and is hosted by Valerie Singleton OBE. It is suitable for all ages.

All three webinars take place on Zoom.
