Route 60 Plus - helping older drivers keep driving

ROUTE Sixty Plus is a presentation aimed at older drivers, developed by the Somerset Road Safety partnership. The aim is to enable the older driver to continue with their driving career safely and for longer.

Road shows are held at various locations throughout the county by staff from the road safety partnership, the Fire and Rescue Service and the Police.

The road show will cover items such as driving licences, highway code, medication, night driving, vehicle improvements and an eyesight test.

People attending will be able to find information about home fire safety visits, mobility driving aids, basic first aid course (heartstart), and crime prevention advice. Also they will be invited to have a free one hour driving refresher.

All drivers who attend will be given a free information pack including a hi-vis jacket for use if they should be unfortunate to brake down.
