Welcome to the Sussex Safer Roads Website

Aging is a factor that none of us can escape from.  Life expectancy in the UK is now higher than ever, meaning that more of us can enjoy longer periods of good, active health than ever before.

However, here in Sussex we’re seeing increasing numbers of older motorists killed or seriously injured on our roads this year.  Although older motorists are no more likely to be involved in a collision than younger ones, the consequences are often more severe.

To help our older drivers stay safe on the roads, we have designed and developed “The Way Ahead”, a suite of resources aimed at these motorists, their friends/families and also professional healthcare providers.

Offering a range of useful tips and discussion points, “The Way Ahead” aims to work with older motorists to give them a positive driving future.

The week commencing Monday 19 March has been designated Older Drivers’ Week here in Sussex – and excitingly other areas around the UK are joining in as well.  A range of events will be held throughout East Sussex, West Sussex and Brighton & Hove – so if you want to know more about the issues, make sure you come along and meet the team!

If you can’t attend one of the events, why not download our “The Way Ahead” resources from this website?

And, as always, if you have any comments or questions, we would be delighted to hear from you.

By working together, we can ensure that every road user can enjoy Sussex safely.
