AARP DRIVER SAFETY CLASS
Formerly
"55- Alive,” the 4 & 8-hour class refresher/defensive driving course is
designed for qualified drivers 50 & older. There are no tests and
membership in the AARP is not necessary. All automobile insurance companies
doing business in Pennsylvania, are required by state law, to give a minimum
discount of 5% to all qualified policy holders age 55 and over who take the
course. Be sure to check with your insurance agent or company to make sure you
qualify to receive a discount.
All classes are taught by trained, unpaid volunteers Instructors. The eight hourclass is given in a two day period in two four hour sessions. The one day 4-hour class is only open to those who provide evidence of taking a class during the previous 36 months. A $14 non-refundable fee ($12 for AARP members) is charged for either class. Class size is limited, so advance reservations are advised to assure placement in class. Those completing the course will be issued a certificate which is valid for three years. Please bring your driver’s license and a pen to class. AARP members must have AARP membership number at class time to be charged the $12 fee. Make checks payable to AARP.
