An awareness event is being held in Dorset to help older drivers stay safe on the road. 

It is being held at the Dorford Centre at Dorchester Baptist Church, 2 Bridport Road, Dorchester on Thursday, November 21.

There will be two sessions, one from 10am to 12pm and another from 1pm to 3.30pm. 

The event is designed to help the elderly drive safer for longer but also to recognise when it is time for them to retire from driving.

Representatives will be there to discuss alternative services and options open to older people if they do decide to stop driving. 

It is organised by Dorset Police who will be joined by Dorset Road Safe, Dorset Council road safety team, Dorset Fire and Rescue and more.

Entry is free and you can find out more by emailing olderdrivers@dorset.pnn.police.uk.
