Fort Sanders Parkwest Medical Center, in conjunction with the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), will once again offer a 55 Alive/Mature Driving Course. AARP developed the eight-hour classroom refresher course to help drivers 50 years of age or older improve their skills and prevent traffic accidents.
The eight-hour course will be divided into two four-hour sessions. The sessions will be held on Monday, November 10, and Tuesday, November 11, from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., in Fort Sanders Parkwest's Classroom B.
The 55 Alive/Mature Driving Course is designed to meet the specific needs of older drivers. It covers age-related physical changes, declining perceptual skills, rules of the road, local driving problems, and license renewal requirements. Volunteer instructors, recruited and trained by AARP, conduct the course, which is presented through a combination of slide presentations and group discussion. Many insurance companies offer discounts to motorists who complete the course.
Fee for the course is $8. Due to limited space, please RSVP by calling 966-1943.
