Approach: Older drivers
Evidence Recommendation ImplementationSelf-assessment workbooks designed specifically for older drivers have shown to increase knowledge and self-awareness
A self-assessment workbook could be designed to use alongside the existing workshop to increase older driver safety by incorporating cognitive skills, knowledge and perceptual skills
Workbook developed with Plymouth University.
