Driver Safety

You’ve probably seen the ironic bumper stickers claiming “Dog is My Copilot.” It may be a play on words, but it’s also frequently true, especially during the holiday season. Idahoans all over the state will be making the rural-trek to see family and friends, with their “furry copilot.”

In partnership with Emory University (Emory Continuing Education), the AARP Driver Safety class helps participants identify individual problem areas, which helps to improve their own driving behavior. Completing this course and submitting your certificate to your insurance company may result in a reduction of up to 10% in your insurance premiums!

Thinking about becoming a volunteer and want to learn a lot in a hurry? AARP New Hampshire is planning something akin to “speed dating” to let members and their guests do just that.

Leslie “Les” Pence of Sheridan has been selected by AARP Indiana to receive the 2015 AARP Andrus Award for Community Service. This award, which is named after AARP’s founder Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, is AARP’s most prestigious volunteer tribute that recognizes outstanding individuals who are sharing their experience, talents and skills to enrich the lives of others. Les was recently presented with the award at AARP Indiana’s annual volunteer summit.

Driving has certainly changed since you first got your driver's license. Cars have changed. Traffic rules have changed. Driving conditions have changed. Want a refresher? Take our AARP SMART DRIVER course to learn something new and it could save you money on your insurance premium.

AARP Driver Safety is actively seeking volunteers in Connecticut to instruct their Smart Driver Course. There is a special need in eastern Connecticut in Windham and New London counties. However, all areas of the state need volunteer instructors.

Upcoming events in Connecticut this Fall!
