A NEW forum to support older drivers has been set up to run free driver safety webinars.

Hampshire Police are encouraging people to join The Older Drivers Forum.

The Older Drivers Forum are supporting Project Edwards week of action, themed ‘Fit for the Road’ between the September 13 to 17.

The Forum will be running a series of six free webinars during the week. Each webinar is on a different subject and designed to help and support the mature motorist to carry on driving safely for longer.

The Older Drivers Forum is about keeping mature motorists on the road safely for longer.

Whether that’s helping giving practical and informative help and support to continue driving or pointing people in the right direction for an assessment to identify their driving needs – from wing mirror adapters to an elevated driving seat – the Forum’s here to help and signpost you to the people to help.

The chair and founder of the Older Drivers Forum Rob Heard said “We are excited and proud to support Project Edward's quest to make the roads safer for all. We can all become complacent about our driving and often pick up bad habits, which if not addressed can increase our risk of an incident on the roads.

"This week of webinars will help give advice on a number of subjects from Confidence building appraisals, Safe driving tips, Electric vehicles and driving with various medical conditions. We have a special webinar on Thursday afternoon hosted by Valerie Singleton OBE on Dash cams, which is one not to miss. We have 1000 free places, so make sure you book early to reserve your place."
