Police have carried out an older driver initiative at Dobbies in Dunfermline.
They offered advice to older drivers and also carried out eye checks. This was supported by Safer Communities Fife and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Police Scotland are also giving older people the chance to book a space on their Drivewise 65+ session. These sessions only last an hour and a half and are free to anyone over the age of 65.

Those participating get the opportunity to drive in their own car with an experienced road policing officer alongside them, who will give advice and tips to help older drivers feel more confident about driving for longer.
The next event will take place on Thursday, March 21, at Dunfermline Fire Station, but only ten spaces are available.
Participants need to have their own vehicle, current MOT, and licence documents.
Anyone who wishes to take part should reach out to safercommunities.projectofficers@fife.gov.uk .
