AARP Driver Safety Course

Cars have changed. So have traffic rules, driving conditions, and the roads you travel every day.

You may be eligible to receive an insurance discount upon completing this course, so consult your agent for details. You might also be eligible to receive a discount on roadside assistance plans. AARP membership is not required to take the course and there are no tests to pass.
Pre-registration is required for this course. The cost is $15 for AARP members and $20 for non-members. The course includes a one-hour lunch break from 12:00-1:00 pm. Participants have the option of purchasing a $7.50 box lunch from the library’;s own Bookmarks Coffee Shop. The box lunch includes a spread sandwich, soft drink or water, chips, and a cookie.
