Thanks to funding from The Road Safety Trust, Road Safety GB has created an online national register of ADIs who have completed the Ageing Driver Training course, delivered by the RSGB Academy. The purpose of the register is to support local authorities and national older driver scheme providers. The register is helpfully grouped by Road Safety GB region.

The Ageing Driver Course provides ADIs with the knowledge and understanding to support an older driver. The course received DVSA recognised status, as well as being recommended by the Older Driver Task Force. If older driver interventions are being conducted then best practice is to use an ADI that has attended the training, this makes the register an essential tool for all scheme providers.
