Older Drivers

Eyesight & hearing

It’s a known fact that eyesight and hearing deteriorate gradually with age; it can be so gradual that you don’t even notice. This could affect your ability and fitness to drive. Your eyes and ears are vital for safe driving. Learn more about how to spot the changes.

Renewing your driving licence

All drivers must renew their licence at the age of 70, and every three years thereafter. Renewing your licence doesn’t involve re-taking your test, it simply involves completing an application to the DVLA. Find out what to do.

Medical conditions

Any medical condition, existing or new, which may affect your ability to drive safely, must be reported by you to the DVLA. The changes in the drug driving law in 2015 mean that many prescription drugs are now covered – are you affected?

Older driver roadshows

From time to time our team run roadshows across the county with our partners. We can also tailor these for a bigger or smaller audience. If you have an event coming up and you think this advice would be of interest, get in touch.
