The Hinesburg Recreation Center hosts the new AARP Smart Driver Class on Wednesday, April 11, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The refresher course is open to all drivers 50 years and older with a curriculum addressing typical physical changes brought on by the aging process, how these changes can affect driving ability, and ways to compensate for those changes.
The course addresses changes in vehicles, regulations and roads. It also will cover how drivers should interact with other road users such as bicyclists, truckers, pedestrians and distracted drivers.
The class will focus on Vermont driving regulations, many of which have changed over the years.
Many insurance companies offer a discount to drivers who have completed the class. Drivers who qualify for a discount by taking the course must take a refresher course every three years. There are no tests.
The course fee is $15 for AARP members, $20 for non-members.
To sign up, contact Hinesburg Recreation Director Jennifer McCuin at 482-2281 Ext. 230 or email hinesburgrec@gmavt.net.
