Staying Safe - A refresher course for Older Drivers
Martinborough, Wellington
What Makes This Refresher Special
Staying Safe offers older drivers a practical refresher on traffic rules and safe driving practices. The free session helps participants re-familiarise themselves with current road regulations in a supportive, community-focused environment. Lasting 210 minutes, the course is designed specifically for those aged 65 and over who want to maintain confidence behind the wheel.
Because the event is completely free, cost is never a barrier. Booking is essential, which keeps group sizes manageable and ensures everyone receives individual attention where needed. Participants leave with updated knowledge that supports safer journeys for themselves and others on the road.
The social value is clear: drivers connect with peers who share similar experiences, reducing isolation while gaining practical skills. Many older adults appreciate the chance to ask questions in a non-judgemental setting and to discuss real-life driving scenarios with others in their community.
