The AARP Driver Safety Program, the nation's oldest classroom program for experienced drivers, is offering nearly a dozen driver safety classes around Windham County during July and August.
In appreciation for their service to our communities, current and retired school personnel may take the class at reduced cost of $5 during July and August. This offer is extended to all current and former school personnel, including custodians, secretaries, paraprofessionals, teachers, and administrators.
The fee for all other participants is $14, $12 for AARP members.
Using lectures, discussion, and video, the course addresses the changes that occur in vision, hearing, and reaction time as we age. Content includes coverage of changes in highways, vehicles, and Vermont state law that affects drivers. Emphasis is placed on safe driving practices and strategies.
Some auto insurance companies offer a discount for successfully completing this course. Drivers can check with their local agent for details.
