We can all benefit from driver safety training. I get trained every year and still learn something from every class, whether I am the student or the instructor. There is always lively interaction that gives insight into how fellow drivers view the roads.
There are many different courses targeted to improve any driving skill. One general safety program is AARP’s Driver Safety Program (DSP). DSP is a separate non-profit branch of AARP that focuses on making the roads safer. There are several benefits, which include:
• Possibly receive a discount on your insurance premium for the next three years
• Learn updated skills that should keep you and your passengers safer
• Learn new safety features that can reduce the risk of accidents
• Learn alternate methods of transportation if a loved one decides to quit driving
Please note that insurance discounts for taking DSP vary from company to company. Typical discounts for drivers over 50 range around 5% but can be verified by calling your insurance agent.
Everyone can use a refresher. Ask good drivers who want to improve to follow me at DriveLikeMe.com.
Please take a Driver Safety Course through AARP or another venue. Course locations and dates for AARP DSP are found at www.AARP.Org/Driver.
This is Rob G, asking YOU to Drive Like Me.
