Caring Driving Lessons for Seniors
Driving Lessons for Seniors at Driving School Royal help you stay confident and safe on the road in later life.
Every person in Switzerland must be assessed by a doctor for a traffic medical check-up every two years from the age of 75.
Those who are healthy and fit to drive can often keep their driving licence into old age and continue to enjoy their independence.
Driving Lessons for Seniors give you the chance to check your driving skills in a calm and supportive setting before you visit the doctor.
At my traffic school, I offer a unique course for senior citizens in the canton of Zug and the canton of Lucerne in German or English.
This refresher course for pensioners is specifically designed to ensure your road safety and to test your driving skills before going to the doctor.
A driving consultation provides valuable insights for you and the doctor and helps you feel well prepared.

You must be in possession of a category B driving licence and ideally have your own passenger car with road registration.
Driving Lessons for Seniors are particularly useful if you have not driven regularly for some time.
Yes, driving advice is voluntary.
However, I highly recommend that you do a check-up drive before you go to the doctor so that you feel prepared and relaxed during the medical assessment.
You can either take the fitness to drive test online or order it here.
These tools are a helpful addition to your Driving Lessons for Seniors.
As a driving advisor, I am not allowed to decide on the withdrawal of the driving licence.
This decision is the sole responsibility of the doctor in charge.
Driving Lessons for Seniors are therefore a supportive preparation, not a replacement for the medical traffic check.
