LEWISTON — An AARP driver safety course for drivers 50 years of age and older will be presented from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 4, and Thursday, Dec. 10, at SeniorsPlus, 8 Falcon Rd.

The classes are part of SeniorPlus’s education program. The class is interactive and no tests are required to graduate.

The AARP program is the nation’s first and largest
classroom refresher course designed specifically to meet the safety
needs of experienced and mature drivers. 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 Maine are now required by law to
give discounts to drivers 55 years of age and older who complete the
course.

The registration fee is $14 each person and advance registration is required. To register, phone SeniorsPlus at 795-4010. Class size is limited to 25 participants and registrations will be accepted first-come, first-served as long as space is available.
