The safety and confidence of older drivers could be vastly improved if they were more connected to the outside world with the accident alerts, fault warnings and breakdown alerts that now come as standard in new vehicles.
This is the view of Penny Searles, CEO of Smartdriverclub, the UK’s first connected car ‘upgrade’ plug-in service for older cars costing £6.60 per month.
Insurer More Than Smart Wheels has partnered with road safety initiative Good Egg Drivers to help improve young people learning to drive.
The subsidiary insurer is part of RSA and is sponsoring a series of Good Egg Drivers interactive workshops enabling schools across the UK to offer free safety guidance to their students learning to drive.
