500 Devon drivers undergo motoring assessment
A scheme which aims to ensure older motorists are safe on Devon's roads has been hailed a success.
Over five hundred people have taken an assessment ... with one thousand six hundred people attending driving workshops.
The 'Driving Safer for Longer' scheme is being run by Devon County Council in conjunction with Devon and Cornwall Police and the Highways Agency.
It aims to address health related issues and offer practical skills for motorists to improve their driving skills and keep up with the highway code.
