AARP AARP States Washington DC Driver Safety

Sign Up for the AARP Smart Driver Course Today!

Smart Driver-Participant Guidebook Cover

The AARP Smart Driver course is geared towards drivers 50+ ( though any driver may attend) and covers practical defensive driving techniques, the effects of the normal changes to vision and hearing caused by aging and the effects of medications and alcohol. The course reviews the latest ‘rules of the road’ and operating vehicles safely in today’s environment and with today’s technology. It is not a behind-the-wheel course but a classroom seminar with a good deal of interaction between the participants. There is no pass-fail.

For most drivers who complete the course there will be a small reduction in their auto insurance costs.

Instructors are unpaid volunteers. The $15 fee for AARP members goes directly to AARP, a non-profit, as a community service.
