Driver Engagement North road safety initiative for older drivers and their families to run a session in Drumnadrochit

Older drivers and their families in the Drumnadrochit area will be able to take part in an interactive driving session.

Aimed at highlighting potential driving weaknesses the Driver Engagement North project makes use of an interactive driving simulator to assess and highlight a participant's reactions, hazard awareness and any potential vulnerabilities.

The project received funding from Transport Scotland and is led by Police Scotland, with support from partners including the NHS, Age Concern and RoSPA.

A session will be held next week at the Craigmonie Centre at Glen Uruquhart High School in Drumnadrochit between 10am and 3pm on Saturday, February 8.

To attend email CraigmonieCC@highlifehighland.com or contact the centre directly.

Any parties interested in setting up a Driver Engagement North session or looking for more information about the project can contact highlandandislandsdriverengagement@scotland.pnn.police.uk
