Be safer, have fewer crashes, and save money on auto insurance by taking the AARP Driver Safety Online Course, or another approved similar course provided by other organizations.

I paid less than $20 for the AARP Driver Safety Online Course and from what my insurance agent tell me I can save more than $100 during the next 3 years on my auto insurance. You must see if your insurance carrier will accept the class and give you a discount for completing it. Just call your insurance agent and ask.

"Why Take the Driver Safety Course Online?

The AARP Driver Safety Program is the nation's first and largest refresher course for drivers age 50 and older that has helped millions of drivers remain safe on today's roads. The course is designed to help you:

* Tune up your driving skills and update your knowledge of the rules of the road.
* Learn about normal age-related physical changes, and how to adjust your driving to allow for these changes.
* Reduce your traffic violations, crashes, and chances for injuries.
* Qualify for an auto insurance premium reduction or discount. Specific state insurance laws vary – please consult your insurance agent for specifics in your state.

The online course is self-paced and interactive and can be taken at the time and place of your choice. Find out more by viewing our video news release."

The course took me about 8 hours to complete with frequent breaks. It was easy to understand and important things are emphasized. I learned many things from the class. I am glad I took the class not only for the money I will save on my auto insurance premiums but from some new things to me that I learned.

AARP and other organizations also offer classroom classes that also run about 8 hours, but I found the online course more convenient.

You and any other driver in your household should take this course not only to save money, but to be safer on the road and have fewer crashes.

I took the lecture classroom course more than ten years ago and I thought I was still getting the discount. My New Jersey agent told me the course is only good for 3 years when you should take the course again.
