Enhanced Accessibility for Senior Driver Refresher Courses: Kanagawa Prefectural Police Introduces Mobile Outreach Program
Yokohama, Japan – The Kanagawa Prefectural Police Department is pleased to announce a significant enhancement to its services for senior drivers, with the introduction of an outreach program for the mandatory refresher courses. This new initiative, detailed on their official website (www.police.pref.kanagawa.jp/tetsuzuki/menkyo/mes83138.html), aims to improve accessibility and convenience for older individuals seeking to renew their driver’s licenses.
Effective August 11, 2025, at 3:00 PM, the Kanagawa Prefectural Police will be bringing the senior driver refresher courses directly to communities through mobile outreach sessions conducted by staff from the Driver’s License Centers. This proactive approach addresses the potential challenges some seniors may face in traveling to the main Driver’s License Centers for their required training.
The senior driver refresher course is a vital component of ensuring road safety for our aging population. It is designed to help drivers maintain their driving skills, stay updated on traffic regulations, and assess their physical and cognitive capabilities relevant to driving. The introduction of this mobile service reflects the Kanagawa Prefectural Police’s commitment to supporting senior drivers and facilitating their continued safe participation in road traffic.
Further details regarding the schedule, locations, and specific requirements for these mobile outreach sessions will be made available through official channels. Senior drivers and their families are encouraged to visit the Kanagawa Prefectural Police website for the most up-to-date information and to learn how to participate in these convenient new sessions. This initiative underscores a dedication to serving all members of the community with greater efficiency and consideration.
