MEMBERS of a county WI group completed a driver refresher event.

 

Sixty women from the Hereford Federation of Women's Institutes took part in the Driver Refresher Day run by Herefordshire Advanced Drivers at Hereford Racecourse.

 

David Williams, chairman of Herefordshire Advanced Drivers, said it was great to see so many members wanting to become better, safer drivers.

 

He said: "The presentations covered speed awareness, current motoring legislation and motorway driving. Each participant also experienced an hour's assessment drive on a variety of local roads with a qualified Observer, how gave them practical, friendly advice on advancing their driving skills".

 

Regional Driver Refresher Days will be starting in Leominster on May 5 and will be followed by Hereford, Ledbury and Ross-on-Wye.

 

The next IAM RoadSmart Advanced Driver course will be in Hereford on April 29.
