Did you get your driver licence back when seatbelts weren’t mandatory, cars were less advanced and driving tests were simpler?

If so, our free Wiser Driver course might be just the refresher you need.

This friendly, informative program helps older adults stay confident and independent on the road - without needing to undergo any driving assessments.

The four-day accredited course will run again this June for drivers aged 65 and over. 

You’ll learn about:

  • challenges faced by older drivers
  • safety tips for wiser driving
  • updated road rules and regulations
  • car safety features
  • staying roadworthy
  • planning for future travel needs
  • exploring alternative transport options
  • VicRoads tools and other helpful resources.
