Free Mature Driver Event – Northampton

Saturday 6th June 2026

Are you a mature driver aged 60+?

Do you live in Northamptonshire and rely on driving to stay independent?

This free event is designed especially for you.

Driving plays an important role in everyday life, and as part of the Northamptonshire Safer Roads Alliance, we are keen to help mature drivers stay safer on the roads for longer. While driving ability can change over time for many reasons, particularly as we get older, recognising and adapting to these changes can help keep both drivers and other road users safe.

This Mature Drivers event is aimed at drivers aged 60+ and will cover a wide range of topics related to safe driving, including:

* Practical advice and safety information

* Opportunities to reflect on how driving needs may change over time

* FREE hints‑and‑tips driving sessions, available to book and delivered by Northampton Advanced Motorists at a convenient date tbc

Our aim is simple: to help mature drivers drive safely, confidently, and for longer.
