Caring Driving Advice for Seniors.
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 drive a car into old age and keep their driving licence.
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.

You must be in possession of a category B driving licence and ideally have your own passenger car with road registration.
Yes. However, I highly recommend that you do a check-up drive before you go to the doctor.
You can either take the fitness to drive test online or order it here.
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.
