Seeking Accessible, Affordable and Quality Health CareNOVEMBER IS AARP DRIVER SAFETY PROGRAM MONTH
November is Driver Safety Month. In addition, November 1st marks the end of daylight savings time, so everyone confronts driving in one more hour of darkness every night. AARP encourages all drivers to consider the link between night driving visibility and safe driving. If you have trouble seeing well at night, get your vision checked and consider taking a driver safety course to learn more about how to compensate in dark conditions.
Many older drivers self regulate. They stop driving on complex roadways, avoid left hand turns, and limit or avoid night driving. They do this because they recognize their driving abilities are beginning to diminish and they want to stay safe.
The AARP Driver Safety Program is the nation’s largest driver safety course especially designed for seniors. It is available in classroom settings across Colorado and online. Both AARP members and nonmembers are welcome. In Colorado, those seniors age 55 plus who attend the class will receive a discount on their vehicle insurance. The class completion certificate is valid for three years.
The no-test course provides tips on negotiating busy intersections and defensive driving skills, understanding new car safety technologies like anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control and air bags. There is a review of the current traffic laws as well as ways to handle road rage.
To find a course near you call 970 243-2531 or 1 888-227-7669
