The AARP Smart Driver Program announces classes for November. Each person completing the four-hour class may receive up to three years in auto insurance savings and should check with their individual insurance carrier for verification of the discount. The cost for a certified course is $15 for AARP members (AARP card required) and $20 for non-members. No written or driving tests.

This course has been designed to help any driver boost safety awareness, refresh and improve driving skills, minimize crash risk, increase confidence, prolong mobility and maintain independence.

For general information on the program or to schedule a class for your organization, call Armin Brahm at 842-8201. Pre-registration for classes is required. Phone numbers of instructors are private numbers of unpaid volunteers. If necessary, leave a message including your name, contact phone number and desired course date.
