More than 100 people have now registered to attend Road Safety GB’s upcoming Mature Drivers’ Conference which is being held at Austin Court in Birmingham on 28 April 2026.
The UK’s population is ageing, with the proportion of people aged 65 and over increasing year-on-year. As a result, the number of mature drivers is also on the rise. Government data shows there were more than 6 million people aged 70 or over with a full driving licence in the UK as of September 2024.
This conference – hosted by Road Safety GB and supported by GEM Motoring Assist, The Road Safety Trust & Waymo – will bring together road safety professionals and those committed to supporting mature drivers to maintain their independence while at the same time enhancing their safety.
The agenda comprises 16 presentations and two panel discussion sessions. Click here to view the agenda at a glance, and here for more information about the speakers and presentations.
Speakers include Professor Charles Musselwhite, Aberystwyth University, Rob Heard MBE, Dr Liz Box, ECM Research & Tanya Fosdick, Agilysis, Dr Carol Hawley, Warwick University, Professor Richard Cuerden, TRL & Nigel Lloyd-Jones, the Older Drivers Forum for Gloucestershire.
A small tabletop exhibition will run alongside the conference. Exhibitors currently include: Waymo, GEM Motoring Assist, The Road Safety Trust, Hugh James, BLT Driver Training and IAM RoadSmart.
