If so, it may be time for some driver refresher training.
For just £5, drivers aged 70 and over can take part in a two-hour theory session to update their driving knowledge.
The sessions are organised by Dorset County Council and are run by a road safety professional in a friendly, non-threatening environment.
Subjects such as staying fit to drive, new driving techniques, changes to the Highway Code, negotiating roundabouts and junctions safely, and dual carriageway and motorway driving will be covered.
There is also an option for a practical refresher drive at a later date. This 90-minute one-to-one practical driving session takes place on local roads and includes town and country driving. This aims to improve defensive driving techniques, hazard awareness and better road positioning, as well as providing tips that can help reduce fuel consumption and vehicle wear and tear.
