OLDER drivers are being invited to take part in a course designed to improve driving skills and boost confidence on the road.
Following a successful pilot project, Dorset Council is offering residents aged 70 and over more chances to take part in a two-hour long discussion session about driving issues.
There is also an optional session for an observed practical refresher drive in their own car at a later date.
The theory session costs just £5. To book a place email roadsafety@ dorsetcc.gov.uk or call the road safety team on 01305 224558.

Cllr Peter Finney, pictured, cabinet member for environment and economy, said: “We could all do with a refresher from time to time, however long we’ve been driving.”
He added: “This course gives people a chance to brush up on their driving skills boost their confidence and help them stay safe when they’re out and about on the road.”
