SUMMARY:Workshop:  AARP SAFE DRIVER COURSE
DESCRIPTION:AARP DRIVER SAFETY PROGRAM SET AT LIBRARY\n\nThe Stratford 
 Library\, in conjunction with the American Association of Retired Persons 
 (AARP)\, will offer another session of the “AARP Safe Driver Course”\, 
 a classroom driver retraining program designed to help older persons 
 improve their driving skills on Saturday\, May 17 from 10 am - 2 pm.  The 
 one-day class program\, one of dozens offered by the agency every year\, 
 will be held in the Library’s Lovell Room.  Developed by the AARP\, the 
 program is the first comprehensive driver retraining course geared to the 
 specific needs of older motorists.  \n\nThe course material covers the 
 effects of aging and medications on driving\, basic driving rules\, license 
 renewal\, local traffic hazards\, adverse road conditions\, energy saving 
 and accident prevention measures.  No written\, physical or driving tests 
 are given.  Research shows that older drivers are involved in more 
 accidents than their middle-aged counterparts when the record is based on 
 actual miles driven.  The physical changes of aging create difficulties for 
 many older drivers when yielding the right-of-way\, backing\, turning\, 
 changing lanes and entering/leaving expressways.\n\n            However\, 
 research also indicates that older persons can improve their driving 
 abilities through additional training\, attention and practice\, enabling 
 them to maintain their driving licenses longer while driving safer.  This 
 is the ultimate goal of the “AARP Driver Safety Program”.        
 \n\nPersons 50 years of age or older are eligible to participate in the 
 library program and will receive a certificate of completion at the end of 
 instruction.  The course is limited to 20 participates only and there is a 
 nominal fee of $20 for AARP members and $25 for non-members charged by the 
 AARP.  \n\nReservations are required and can be made on this site.
