Driver Safety Program Classes

An AARP Driver Safety Program Class, is sponsored by and taking place at Grafton Township, 10109 Vine Street, Huntley, on Saturday, September 17, and Saturday, September 24 from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM each day .

Also offered Monday, October 10th, and Wednesday, October 12, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM each day, and Monday, November 21st, and Tuesday, November 22, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM each day

This comprehensive course is designed especially for drivers 50 and above, but all drivers are welcome to participate. Participants learn how to operate their vehicles more safely in today’s increasingly challenging driving environment and receive a thorough review of the “rules of the road,” with an emphasis on safety strategies of defensive driving.

You will also find out how to safely adjust your driving to compensate for age-related changes in vision, hearing and reaction time.

You will receive a certificate of completion that, under Illinois law, entitles a 55+ years driver to a reduction in auto insurance premiums for three years (please check with your insurance company for the exact discount and the correct procedure to obtain it).

It is a two-day course; participants must attend both classes. Available in a classroom setting, the course is open to AARP members and non-members of all ages, and there are no tests. All participants must pre-register. To register for the class mail a check made out to AARP for $14 (AARP members get a $2 discount) to Grafton Township Supervisor, Linda Moore, PO Box 37, Huntley, IL 60142.

 For more information, please contact Township Office at 847-669-3328. This program is coordinated by the Grafton Township Supervisor Linda Moore. Snacks and drinks during the class are sponsored by Bickford Senior Living.
