AARP Driver Safety class has two objectives. The first is to address senior driver crash prevention—specifically, to identify what factors characterize the high crash/fatality rate for senior drivers, the indicators of increased danger, and solutions to reduce personal risk. The second objective is to review best driving practices, safe driving strategies, new technology, laws, and trends. The class will include video clips, infographics, lectures, personal experiences, and questions from participants. An AARP guidebook and the latest DMV Rules of the Road will be provided to each class member. This class is approved by the Virginia legislature, which mandates a three-year auto insurance discount after a completion certificate is presented to your insurance company. Although the class usually finishes early, feel free to bring a snack. The attendance fee is payable at the class in cash, or preferably a check made out to AARP. Bring your AARP number if you have one.
