Grafton Township is sponsoring an AARP Driver Safety Program Class at 10109 Vine Street, Huntley (Grafton Township Offices) on Friday Feb. 25 and Friday March 4, 2011 from 12:30 PM to 4:30 PM each day. It is also available on Saturday, April 16th and Tuesday, April 9th from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm each day. Class size is limited, please register early.
This comprehensive course is designed especially for drivers 50 and above. 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. Most important, the curriculum provides opportunities for the participants to identify individual problem areas and apply information that is needed to improve their behavior as drivers. Studies have shown that fewer fatal and injury-causing crashes and fewer violations occur among drivers who have taken this nationally-recognized course.
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: the cost of the course is $14 (AARP members get a $2 discount). To register or for more information, please contact Supervisor Linda Moore at the Grafton Township Office by calling 847-669-3328 or email lindamooregt@hotmail.com.
