The Ogden Senior Center will be the site of this fall’s AARP Smart Driver Course on Monday, September 25 and Wednesday, September 27 from 1 to 4 p.m. The new and improved course curriculum was designed with the participant in mind, and it is different 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. 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 (From the AARP website)
