Driver workshops in Mid Wales
Older drivers in Mid Wales will be offered motoring workshops free of charge.
The Mature Motoring classes - for people aged over 55 - will be an informal two-hour session delivered by Powys County Council's road safety unit.
The workshops will focus on issues such as driving licence requirements, personal safety while driving, winter driving, the dangers of drink driving and not wearing seatbelts.
The classes take place from 10am on July 28 in Welshpool, July 29 in Llanfyllin, July 30 in Newtown and July 31 in Llanidloes at locations to be confirmed.
Workshop attendees will also be offered the chance to take part in a free, one hour practical drive with an approved driving instructor at a later date.
Councillor John Powell, the council's cabinet member responsible for road safety, said: "We hope that these free courses will help preserve and conserve valuable driving skills and make drivers more aware of what influences our driving, ultimately leading to a reduction in collisions and casualties in this vulnerable driving group.
"Both the workshop and practical drive are completely free to Powys residents over the age of 55."
