What a useful initiative. Hopefully some of the roadshows will be local. Reaction times can be affected by medication and tend to be slower as we age. We can refer you to have your driving assessed if you have concerns or you can ask a driving instructor to sit with you.

We are supporting Road Safety Scotland’s Fitness to
Drive campaign, encouraging mature drivers to reflect on
their driving and take action to keep driving safely and
confidently for as long as possible.

the campaign via this link https://roadsafety.scot/road-user-advice/mature-drivers/

🚨 Nationwide Emergency Alert Test — Sunday 7th September, 3pm

The UK’s new emergency alert system will send a loud siren, message, and vibration to every compatible phone even on silent. Survivors of abuse with hidden phones could be put at risk if the device is discovered.

You can opt out in your phone’s settings to protect your safety:
✅ iPhone: Search “Emergency Alerts” in settings → Turn off Severe & Emergency alerts

✅ Android: Search “Emergency Alerts” in settings → Turn off Severe & Emergency alerts (and other threat categories if listed)

The practice took part in Dalbeattie’s Civic Day parade, had a great time and came second place! We have donated our winnings to Cancer Research Uk and Caring for Carers.
The theme of our float was Day of the Dead ( Dia de los Mu***os) a celebration to pay respects and remember friends and family members who have died. Thank-you to the photographers whose pictures I have borrowed.
See if you can spot some familiar faces under the masks and face paints!
