Annotation	Three focus groups (n=18) were conducted with former and current drivers aged 75+ living in Montreal, Canada, with the aim of exploring their perceptions of skill-specific driver training and factors stimulating interest and participation in a driving course. Participants were enthusiastic about the course and provided recommendations including course content such as traffic law refreshers, retraining of driving-related skills, and on-road driving training or evaluation. This focus group research is the first step in developing effective and practical driving interventions for healthy older drivers based on their needs and interests. (RH).
