🍂 Driving Safely in Autumn: Time for a Driver MOT?
📅 Sat 26 Sept, 10-11am | FREE Zoom webinar
📝 Register: tinyurl.com/5n6hhbyn
We make sure our cars receive an MOT, but what about ourselves? A ‘Driver MOT’ is not a test. It is a friendly opportunity to consider whether one or two small changes could make driving safer and more comfortable in autumn.
Autumn brings low sun, glare, heavy rain, wet leaves, fog and the first frosts. Join us for practical advice on:
👓 The driver; eyesight, mobility, medication and confidence
🔋 The vehicle; battery, lights, wipers and tyres
🗺️ The journey; weather, timing, routes and knowing when to postpone
🎤 IAM RoadSmart examiner Mike Addis will also share insights from Mature Driver Reviews.

When walking where there’s no pavement, remember to follow the Highway Code.
🚶♂️Walk on the right-hand side of the road so you can see oncoming traffic
🚶♀️Walk in single file, especially on narrow roads or when visibility is poor
✔️Keep close to the side of the road at all times
