During the month of November, 2012, AARP is recognizing and honoring US Military Personnel of all services – active, retired, guard and reserve, their dependents (including spouses, domestic partners, widows/ widowers and their children) by providing a “free” four hour refresher class room course in Driver Safety.
Others who desire to attend can do so at the normal nominal fee.
The AARP Driver Safety Course covers the normal changes in vision, hearing and reaction time associated with aging and provides practical techniques to adjust to these changes.
Participants also review a thorough review of the “Rules Of The Road,” with emphasis on safe driving strategies. Graduates may be eligible to receive auto insurance discounts through their insurance company.
