Sturdy Memorial Hospital will sponsor a Driver Safety Program on Monday, October 26 from 10 a.m. – 3:15 p.m. at the Hospital. Area residents are encouraged to attend this program that was developed by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). The classes are taught by trained AARP instructors who assist motorists with their driving skills. Some states offer discounts on automobile insurance rates by attending this class, call your insurance agent to see if your state participates in this discount program.
During the class, participants will learn how to refine their existing driving skills and develop safe, defensive driving techniques. Classes will also focus on the effects of aging and medication on driving, how to handle adverse driving conditions, traffic hazards, fuel saving tips and preventive measures that save lives.
Sturdy Memorial is offering this course FREE of charge, so why not bring a friend. Light refreshments will be served. Class size is limited and registration is necessary. To register, call Sturdy Memorial’s Public Relations Department at 508/236-8020.
