200 senior volunteers agreed to get up to speed on the Highway Code ofin the Côtes d’Armor. In particular, they had access to tests on a simulator. A rather unprecedented initiative which revives the recurring question of whether or not to retake the driving license for seniors.
A new kind of driving lesson at Plaintel (Cotes-d’Armor). At the wheel, Mauricette Dirr nothing of a beginner. She has had her license since 1977 and she is taking part in a refresher course. “I thought there were new signs, new rules, that’s why I wanted to register, and then see what I lost over the years“, explains the driver. Like her, 200 senior volunteers came to refresh their memories. This review session is far from useless.
“This puts us back on the right track“, says a man. In the program : practical work, with driving reflex tests on simulator, and prevention of the risk of alcoholemia thanks to glasses that simulate the state of intoxication. A road safety day for seniors in Côtes d’Armor, where nearly half of road deaths were over 65 years old. In Brittany, other awareness days will be offered.
