New Lenox Offers AARP Driving Course

NEW LENOX, IL — The Village of New Lenox, through its Safe Community Coalition, will offer an AARP Smart Driver™ Course on May 8 and May 9 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The 2-day course will be held in the Community Room at New Lenox Village Hall.

The AARP Smart Driver™ Course, offered by AARP Driver Safety, is the nation’s largest driver safety course and is designed especially for drivers age 50 and older, according to the village. By taking the course, you'll learn the current rules of the road, defensive driving techniques, and how to operate your vehicle more safely in today's driving environment.

The village said the cost of the course is $15 for AARP members and $20 for non-members. Cash or check will be accepted at the door on the first day. To register, contact Daniel Martin, Safe Community Coordinator, by phone (815) 462-6493 or via email at dmartin@newlenox.net.

You may be eligible to receive a multi-year auto insurance discount upon completing the course (consult your insurance agent for details). AARP membership is not required to take the course and there are no tests to pass.
