An AARP Driver Safety Program Class is taking place tomorrow, Saturday, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Grafton Township offices, Reed Road and Vine Street, Huntley.
This comprehensive course is 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.
Additionally, participants will find out how to safely adjust driving to compensate for any age-related changes in vision, hearing and reaction time.
Participants will receive a certificate of completion that, under Illinois law, entitles a 55+ year old driver to a reduction in auto insurance premiums for three years. (A check with the individual insurance company is needed to determine the exact discount and the correct procedure to obtain it.)
This is a two-day course which requires attendance at 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. This can be accomplished by mailing a check made payable to AARP for$14 (AARP members get a $2 discount) to Grafton Township Supervisor, Linda Moore, PO Box 37, Huntley, IL 60142.
If more information is needed, contact the Township office at 847-669-3328. The program is coordinated by Grafton Township Supervisor. Snacks and drinks during the class are sponsored by Bickford Senior Living.
The program is also offered next Saturday, September 24 at the same times. Other dates for the program are; 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
