TURNING 55 HAS its ADVANTAGES

Those of you age 55 or older in Colorado do qualify for discounts on your auto insurance.

The AARP Driver Safety Program not only qualifies you for a discount on your Colorado auto insurance, but will give you tips on becoming a better driver.

“I know, I have been driving for over 40 years and I know how to drive”. However, there are constant changes regarding driving laws and regulations. Not only the laws change but the roads and signs have continued to change.

Ever gone around in a traffic circle, roundabout? How about back in parking? That’s covered in the classes as are the physical changes taking place as we age. Our vision, hearing, depth perception, and peripheral vision are discussed and suggestions to compensate for these changes are covered. Night driving isn’t as much fun as it used to be and we don’t always hear the cars around us. Reaction time, decision making, all seem to slow down as we age.

The AARP class helps overcome and adjust to the physical changes we endure as we age.

The classes consist of two four hour sessions. The fee is $12.00 for AARP members and $14.00 for non members, which includes class material and the certificate, valid for three years.

To sign up for a class call 800 227-7669. Classes may also be taken on line at www.aarp.org/drive
