Special To The Weekly Vista
There are new AARP Smart Driver courses being offered. These classes are designed for drivers over the age of 50 to assist them in becoming safer drivers. Completion of the course qualifies those students to receive an automobile insurance discount in Arkansas.
The course teaches current traffic laws, defensive driving techniques and how to operate a vehicle more safely. The course also teaches how to manage common age-related changes in vision, hearing and reaction time.
The course length is four hours. The cost is $15 for AARP members and $20 for non-members. AARP members should provide their membership card and membership number. An additional $5 fee (in addition to course fee) must be paid to the Wellness Center for all who are not members of the Adult Wellness Center. Reservations are required, so call the number listed for the class.
