AARP DRIVER SAFETY COURSE OFFERED IN FALMOUTH

Recharge your driving skills and stay safe, educated and confident behind the wheel with the AARP Smart Driver™ Course! Designed for drivers age 50-plus, the course offers a refresher on the rules of the road, and shows defensive driving techniques that can help drivers operate vehicles more safely in today’s increasingly challenging driving environment.

In addition to learning safety strategies that can reduce the likelihood of a crash, participants of the course will learn how aging, medications, alcohol, and other health-related issues affect driving ability. The course also helps participants determine when it may not be best to drive (e.g., late at night, inclement weather, etc.) and how to plan for a time when driving is no longer an option.

As the nation’s first and largest driver safety course designed especially for older drivers, AARP Driver Safety has helped over 15 million participants refresh their skills and stay safe on the road since 1979.

The classroom course costs $12 for AARP members and $14 for non-members. Although the program is geared toward drivers 50 and older, licensed drivers of all ages are welcome to participate.

There are no official tests to pass in order to graduate from the program. Classroom course space is limited, so register now. The class will be held Saturday, April 8 at Atria Woodbriar, 383 Gifford Street, Falmouth from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call 508-495-5500 for information.
