Driving safely for longer

October 27, 2025

A new campaign has been launched by The Scottish Government and Road Safety Scotland which encourages drivers aged 60 years and over to reflect on their driving skills and drive safely for longer.

Fitness to drive national roadshows are bringing free Driver MOT events directly to communities across the country, talking to mature drivers and helping them to take steps as safe drivers, to drive safely for longer.

Throughout October and November, they are visiting towns and cities across Scotland, talking to mature drivers about the changes to look out for as they get older and the steps that can be taken to keep driving safely for longer.  Their fitness to drive team will be on hand to chat to drivers about their experiences and to provide tips and advice on steps that can be taken to remain safe behind the wheel. There will also be opportunities to find out more information about Mature Driving Reviews on the day and to sign up.
