Staying Safe Workshop

This free classroom-based course will help senior road users re-familiarise themselves with traffic rules and safe driving practices. Age Concern Wairarapa runs these workshops in partnership with Waka Kotahi (NZTA). The workshop aims to maintain and improve safe driving practices and increase the knowledge of other transport options available to help senior road users remain safely mobile.

 The aim of the Staying Safe programme is to provide evidence-based education to help older drivers and road users:

• increase their knowledge about driving and ageing
• assess their current driving behaviour
• adapt their driving behaviour build an appropriate level of confidence on the roads (without instilling false or overconfidence)
• build their awareness of alternatives to driving so they can maintain their independence when theyreduce or cease driving
