Driving course for seniors

The Rotary Club of Umina Beach will be organising a seniors driving course on October 16 at the Everglades Country Club.

The course, held in conjunction with the NRMA Gosford Branch, will answer questions such as who has right of way at a roundabout and what time school zones apply.

It will also discuss how drivers can maintain their independence and drive safely at a senior age.

The first section of the course will be held on Tuesday, October 16, at 2.30pm at the Everglades Country Club, where questions will be answered and discussions held.

A special reduced rate driving "touch up" course with an NRMA instructor will be held on Wednesday, October 17, from 9.30am.

Participants will use the instructor's car.

The driving course will cost $20.

The project is funded by the Rotary Club of Umina Beach.
