Norfolk County Council in collaboration with Road Safety Partners wants to launch a new Road Safety Driving Campaign in 2025 to support older drivers.
In order to do this the council wants to hear directly from Norfolk drivers over 60 and is asking them to take part in a short survey. Via the survey they can share their driving experiences, attitudes and thoughts on staying safe as they age. This feedback will play a crucial part in shaping future safety campaigns and tailoring support to meet the needs of older drivers in Norfolk.
Cllr Borrett Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing said “We really want to hear from as many people as possible. We know that as our health changes, people tend to adopt different driving habits to help them drive safely – for example avoiding driving at night. This survey will help us better understand these experiences so we can produce safety measures and support that makes a real difference, to ensure that everyone can drive safely for longer”
The survey will also invite views from people who have recently stopped driving or those who rely on other forms of transport such as buses, taxis or cycling. Take part in the survey here
Their experiences and ideas could help make Norfolk’s roads safer and more accommodating for everyone.
