Older driver training
If you're over 55 and you have concerns about any aspect of your driving, or just want to refresh your driving skills, book a Safer Driving with Age (SAGE) assessment.
SAGE is designed to help people keep on driving as long as it is safe to do so.
Fill in and return the SAGE application form (PDF, 339 KB).
Please read the SAGE information sheet (PDF, 600 KB) before you apply. It includes information about medical conditions that may affect your suitability to continue driving.
The assessment
The assessment has three stages:
- confirmation that there is no medical condition that would prevent you from driving
- an eyesight check
- an assessed drive with a friendly driving assessor
The assessment takes place in your own car on a route that you choose. At the end of your drive, the assessor will discuss any points about your driving that are necessary.
Cost
The assessment costs £17.50.
What happens next
Once your application is processed, a driving assessor will contact you to arrange an appointment to carry out the assessment which takes 45 minutes.
