driving courses to bring seniors up to speed

A retiree discovers a driving simulator for the first time. If she has difficulty handling it, Claudie assures that she is reassured by her “reaction time”. Like her, 70 retirees came to test their driving skills for a day. The “My driving in complete peace of mind” program is busy, it notably offers revisions to the Highway Code, such as the puzzle of roundabouts. “It didn’t exist in their time”notes the facilitator of the Road Prevention network.

As with the roundabouts, drunk driving is also part of a workshop. The trainees put on glasses that simulate a state of intoxication. They must then try to perform specific movements. These senior drivers passed their license a long time ago. This booster shot is beneficial, according to them. This training allows for a facelift given to their license in the hope of keeping it safe for as long as possible.
