The mature driving assessment is an in-car driving session, designed to review and support your driving. It's an opportunity to receive honest feedback from a trusted professional, talk openly about your driving, and get practical advice.
Cost
The sessions are currently subsidised, with a reduced cost of only £20. This may change.
Length of session
The driving assessments last for up to 90 minutes. This includes driving time, discussion, and feedback between the driver and the driving instructor.
Vehicle used
Your driving assessment takes place in your own vehicle, as this is an assessment of your driving in a familiar environment.
Route
The assessment takes place on local roads that you're familiar with - starting and finishing at your home. As the roads are known to you, we hope you'll feel able to raise any driving difficulties. You can get advice on how to fix these.
Driving instructors
We have a list of approved driving instructors who have registered for this scheme, based around the county. We'll share this list with you when you apply. You can choose any instructor from the list, and arrange a date and time.
