Cars have changed. So have the traffic rules, driving conditions, and the roads you travel every day. Some drivers have never looked back since they got their first driver's licenses, but even the most experienced benefit from brushing up on their driving skills.
Why take a course? You can expect to learn current rules of the road, defensive driving techniques, and how to operate your vehicle more safely in today's increasingly challenging driving environment. You'll learn adjustments to accommodate common age-related changes in vision, hearing, and reaction time.
Completion of the course could lead to savings on auto insurance and possible reduction of driver’s license points.
Sound good? An AARP Defensive Driving course will be held at the Long Hill Township Library. The course is 6 hours in length and will be held over two Tuesdays, October 18 and 25 from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm.
Participants must attend both sessions to receive credit for the course.
The course will be conducted by AARP instructor Willy Parolari and is geared toward drivers age 50 and older (although drivers of all ages are welcome to attend.)
The course costs $12 for AARP members and $14 for nonmembers; participants must reserve their space and attend both sessions.
To register, call (908) 647-2088. The library is located at 917 Valley Road, Gillette, in the Long Hill Township Municipal Complex.
