Did you know that Flintshire County Council runs a free training scheme?

I thought you might be interested to know of a FREE scheme run by Flintshire County Council but covering the whole of North Wales. A qualified Driving Instructor comes to your Home has a chat about the sort of driving you do and takes you out for an hour or so in your own car. We went on the expressway, country roads and in the local town centre. I was particularly pleased that on the assessment form she completed at the end, her final comment was that "it was a pleasure to be driven by me". I think this is a great scheme. It is called the Older Driver Development Programme and is run on behalf of the North Wales Road Safety Group by Mr. Chris Cogswell 01352 704498
