If you are aged over 65 and living in Powys the county council is offering you the chance to refresh your driving theory knowledge with free workshops.

Mature drivers are being given the opportunity to revise and improve their road knowledge by taking advantage of a free, online driver theory course, organised by the county council.

Powys County Council’s Road Safety Unit will be holding its Driver Theory Refresher workshop on the following days:

• Wednesday, May 18 2022

• Wednesday, June 22 2022

The course is a two-hour, online informal workshop designed to update your knowledge of the road in an ever-changing environment, which will help to improve your driving skills and keep you driving safely.

The course includes ‘The Fatal Five’ - five of the main causes of serious injuries and deaths on the region’s roads. This includes what to do when encountering vulnerable road users such as motor and pedal cyclists, and equestrians, eyesight requirements, medication and alcohol laws, what to do in the event of an accident, and much more.

Attendees will also be given information and contact details about going on one of the free, one hour ‘Drive-On’ assessments with a local ADI (Advanced Driving Instructor).

For more information and to book a place on our up-and-coming courses, please contact Miranda Capecchi, Road Safety Project Officer by phone on 01597 82 6924 or email at: [email protected]
