Joyce Madison from AARP will conduct the Smart Driver program at the Crete Public Library. A fee of $20 is payable by cash or check made out to AARP on the first day of class. Credit or debit cards cannot be accepted as payment. There is a $5 discount for AARP members. Participants must register through the library and attend both sessions to receive a certificate of completion.
The class continues on Friday, October 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will not be a lunch period, so you are welcome to bring snacks, if you wish to eat during the 10-15 minute break.
The AARP Smart Driver course is the nation’s first refresher course specifically designed for drivers age 50 and older. In many states, drivers may benefit from a discount on their auto insurance premium upon completing the course. 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.
