Three road safety forums will be held across Moreton Bay next month in a bid to keep elderly drivers safe on the road.
Forums will be held in Caboolture, Lawnton and Kallangur, providing multiple opportunities for residents across the region to attend.

“We’re inviting locals seniors to attend the Seniors Road Safety Forums held across the Moreton District in October,” Senior-Constable Blanckensee says.
“There will be guest speakers and exhibitors, with a free morning tea available.
“The forums coincide with Queensland Seniors Month and are a means to partner with the regional services, Department of Transport and Main Roads, Queensland Police Service, and senior residents from across the Moreton District.”
