The class will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 24, 2018. The class will be taught by certified volunteer instructor Sheila Powell. Since 1979, AARP Driver Safety has helped over 15 million older drivers stay safe, educated and confident behind the wheel. AARP Smart Driver Course participants will learn: valuable defensive driving skills; proven safety strategies; how to stay current with the latest driving technologies; the current rules of the road, specific to your community, and how to manage and accommodate common age- related changes in vision, hearing and reaction time. Participants are encouraged to check with their insurance agent to see if they are eligible for an insurance discount. There are no tests required to pass the course. The course is open to drivers of all ages and costs $15 for AARP members and $20 for non members. Lunch will be on your own. Participants need to preregister as class size is limited.
