Staying Safe: Refresher Courses for Older Drivers
Staying Safe: Refresher Courses for Older Drivers
We drive on our roads every day. For many of us they are our lifeline – driving is a means of independence, social connection to family and friends and access to essential services.
With the generous support of Waka Kotahi (NZTA), Age Concern offers free Staying Safe: Refresher Courses for Older Drivers all over New Zealand to help keep older people safe on the roads.
The theory-based refresher course is an opportunity for people to re-familiarise themselves with traffic rules and safe driving practices in a friendly and relaxed environment with other older drivers. The course includes information on other transport options available to help keep you mobile for as long as possible, whether behind the wheel or when you stop driving.
Date: Wednesday 28 February 2024
Time: 9.45am for 10.00am start - 2pm
Venue: The link, 4 Te Aroha St, Hamilton
Enrolments essential: phone Kirsty on 07 838 2266 or email: education@ageconcernwaikato.org.nz
Life Without a Car
Is there Life Without a Car?
We provide information about keeping connected when we no longer drive. Not driving doesn’t have to limit our activities or prevent us from enjoying life. Adjusting to life without a car doesn’t mean losing independence or freedom.
Our Life Without a Car course:
- enables you to stay connected to whānau/family, friends and places
- highlights a range of possibilities to remain mobile
- offers alternative ways of getting about in the community
- suggests many options to keep involved and enjoying activities
- gives valuable insights into adapting our lifestyle and planning for the future
- encourages living positively without driving
