The Ogden Senior Center will present the new and improved AARP Driver Safety Course curriculum on Monday, September 26 and Wednesday, September 28 from 1 to 4 p.m. both days. 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; and 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 Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to reserve a seat. The session costs $20 for AARP members; $25 for non-members.
