The end of Daylight Savings time on November 1, 2009 doesn’t just mean you’re getting an extra hour of sleep. Setting clocks back one hour also means an extra hour of night driving, which can be problematic for everyone, particularly older drivers.  AARP urges all drivers to consider the link between night visibility and safe driving. If you have trouble seeing well at night, get your their vision checked and consider taking a driver safety course to learn more about how to compensate in dark conditions. To focus attention on roadway safety, AARP is proclaiming this November Driver Safety Month.   

Take the first step toward keeping yourself, your parents or loved ones safe behind the wheel with the AARP Driver Safety Online Course.  Now through November 30, 2009, the course is 20% off the regular $15.95 AARP member price.*  You may also be eligible to receive an auto insurance discount, so consult with your agent for more details.   To register for the AARP Driver Safety Online Course, visit http://www.aarp.org/drive/online.
