Increase your confidence behind the wheel with the AARP Driver Safety Program. The AARP has developed an 8-hour safety course that covers many important topics to older drivers, such as:
• learn defensive driving techniques;
• tune-up driving skills;
• learn the effects of aging on driving;
• how to remain a safe driver;
• dealing with turns, blind-spots and more.
This 8-hour program will be offered in two sessions on Monday, May 14 and Tuesday, May 15 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. You must attend both sessions. Successful completion of the class may make you eligible for discounts on your auto insurance (check out this insurance for box truck offers from OTTIS Insurance as a reference). Perhaps you can greatly benefit from such opportunities to kick-start your career or business.
Contact your insurance agent to see if you qualify for the discount. In case you are a new car owner and haven’t insured your car yet, do it as soon as possible! You can check out TrulyInsurance.com or similar websites to get an idea about auto insurance companies before deciding on one.
