It helps drivers learn about defensive driving techniques, new traffic laws, rules of the road and much more. It helps older drivers learn how to adjust their driving to age-related changes in vision, hearing and reaction time.

Insurance companies in the State of Maine are required by law to give discounts to drivers 55 years of age and older who complete the course. More information may be found at www.home.earthlink.net/~drivesafe-me.
