AARP Safe Driver Course

Laura Saret, Neighbor

AARP Smart Driver™ Course

The AARP Smart Driver™ Course is the nation’s first and largest refresher course for drivers age 50 and older. It has given millions of drivers the skills and tools they need to drive safely on today’s roads, allowing them to remain independent for many years to come. In fact, 97% of those who take it change at least one driving behavior. And the best part? There are no tests to pass - just useful information to keep you safe on the road!.

The course is designed to help you:

  • Update driving skills and your knowledge of the rules - and hazards - of the road.
  • Learn about normal age-related physical changes and how to adjust your driving to compensate.
  • Reduce your chances of receiving a traffic violation, getting into an accident, or becoming injured.
  • Get an insurance discount. Auto insurance companies in most states provide a multi-year discount to course graduates! (Some states may have restrictions on accepting an online driver improvement course for insurance discounts. Please consult your insurance agent for more information about discounts in your state.)
The class meets on 2/24 and 3/3 from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.  Registration is required.  Call 847-579-4554.  The classroom course costs only $15 for AARP members and $20 for nonmembers. You can pay at the time of the course.  Bring your driver's license and AARP card (if you have one).
