RACQ Motoring

Years Ahead

The Years Ahead program underlines the RACQs ongoing commitment to older drivers.

The aim of the Years Ahead program is to assist older motorists to drive safely for longer by being aware of their own capabilities.

The Years Ahead program offers a range of initiatives to help older drivers with road safety issues affecting them, including:

  • Years Ahead workshop presentations
  • RACQ Refresh handbook
  • Years Ahead refresher drive

While developed primarily for Queensland's older drivers, the Years Ahead program is also of benefit for:

  • friends and family of older drivers
  • community groups who coordinate activities involving older drivers
  • older drivers visiting or retiring in Queensland

Years Ahead workshop presentation
This is a 90-minute group discussion-based presentation covering age-related safety issues, awareness and application of road rules.

Cost
Years Ahead workshop presentations are available free-of-charge to any community organisation or sporting group at their own venue.

RACQ Refresh handbook
The RACQ Refresh handbook is an easy reference guide covering fitness to drive, defensive driving techniques, road signs and markings, road rules and sharing the road with other road users.

Handbooks are available at all RACQ branches.

Years Ahead refresher drive
This is a 50-minute practical on-road drive with a qualified driver trainer. The Years Ahead refresher drive is not a test, but an opportunity to have your driving observed with constructive comments and written report on ways to improve your on-road safety.
