The Ogden Senior Center will present a new and improved AARP Driver Safety Course curriculum on Monday, June 13 and Wednesday, June 15, from 1 to 4 p.m. Designed with the participant in mind, the program has changed in many ways from previous editions including:
•A completely new, easy-to-follow format that incorporates adult-learning principles, features reader-friendly print types, full-color pages, an easy-to-follow format and videos to supplement course content.
•New opportunities for participants to learn state-specific information throughout the course in a way that is easy to access and understand
•All components of the AARP Smart Driver Course have been translated and tested for Spanish-speaking participants
As a result of evidence-based research findings, the course has been adjusted to include a focus on areas where older drivers could benefit from additional training, including:
•Roundabouts
•Pavement markings
•Stop-sign compliance
•Red-light running
•Safety issues such as speeding, and seatbelt and turn-signal use
Participants must attend both sessions to be eligible for an insurance discount. Call OSC at 352-3250 on M-W-F between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to reserve a seat.
The course costs $20 for AARP members and $25 for non-members.
