As you get older, changes in your vision and other health issues can affect your driving. There are lots things you can do to continue driving safely, like getting a free NHS eye examination. Learn more about what you can do to keep driving safely.

20mph campaign

If you hit someone at 30mph, they’re seven times more likely to die than at 20mph.
