Remote lecture series for the elderly about the new road traffic law

The new Road Traffic Act enters into force on June 1.6.2020, XNUMX. Most of the everyday rules of movement will remain unchanged, but there will be changes to road markings, speed limits and traffic signs, among other things. Now is a good time to review the good practices of safe movement by getting to know the changes and updating the information on the traffic rules as a whole.

At the turn of May-June, we organize half-hour remote lectures on three consecutive Tuesdays, which are especially aimed at car drivers over 65 and their assistants.

Themes and times

• Tue 26.5. at 9.00-9.30 Is cooperation possible? Anticipate and utilize the assistant driver
• Tue 2.6. at 9-9.30 Did you spot these yet? Familiar observation patterns are affected by changes and speed adjustment
• Tue 9.6. at 9-9.30 a.m. By bike? With a cyclist in traffic
