Register to take part in the AARP Smart Driver Course.

The AARP Smart Driver course is recognized as an approved Mature Driver accident prevention course for drivers age 55 and older by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. Insured drivers age 55 and older may be eligible for an appropriate reduction in automobile insurance premium charges after completing this course. (Please check with your insurance company or agent for any additional requirements for eligibility.) And you will learn something new along the way. In fact, an evaluation of the course found that 97% of participants changed at least one driving habit as a result of what they learned. The AARP Smart Driver course covers: • Research-based safe driving strategies. • Information on the effects of medication on driving. • Preventive measures to reduce driver distractions. • Proper use of safety belts, airbags, anti-lock brakes, and new technology found in cars today. • Techniques for handling left turns, right-of-way, and roundabouts. • Virginia-specific rules and regulations in 19 key areas, including construction zones, child safety seats, school buses, cellphone use and more. 
Registration Required. Adults.
