Older Drivers
Project summary
A one-day national conference for road safety professionals, focusing on mature driver safety.
The UK’s population is ageing, with the proportion of people aged 65 and over increasing year-on-year. As a result, the number of mature drivers is also on the rise. Government data shows there were more than 6 million people aged 70 or over with a full driving licence in the UK as of September 2024.
This conference - hosted by Road Safety GB and supported by GEM Motoring Assist, The Road Safety Trust & Waymo - will bring together road safety professionals and those committed to supporting mature drivers to maintain their independence while at the same time enhancing their safety.
