OR

Tues., August 23 and Wednesday, August 24

From 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM each day

A comprehensive driver safety course, designed especially for drivers 50 and above, is being offered at the Grafton Township Offices, July 19 and July 20 as well as August 23 and August 24. Although designed for drivers over the age of 50, 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. Participants will also find out how to safely adjust their driving to compensate for age-related changes in vision, hearing and reaction time.

After absorbing all this necessary information, a certificate of completion is provided that, under Illinois law, entitles a 55+ years age 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. Snacks and drinks during the class are sponsored by LMR Healthcare.
