Mature driver course online

Friday, October 31, 2008
By MARIBETH WARD, Staff Writer
A mature driver safety course geared toward helping senior drivers fine-tune their driving skills and knowledge of traffic laws is being offered by AAA Hoosier Motor Club and I Drive Safely.

Hoosiers 55 and older can sharpen their driving skills and possibly lower their auto insurance rates by taking the internet-based safety course.

Participants learn about age-related physical changes and how to adjust driving practices accordingly.

The course can be taken anywhere there is a computer with Internet access. It is available online 24 hours a day, seven days a week with free 24-hour live customer service for questions or concerns.

Those taking the course can work at their own pace and log on and off as many times as they like.

The course is $15.99 for AAA members and $19.95 for non-members. It takes about eight hours to complete.

An added benefit is that many insurance companies, including AAA Hoosier Insurance, offer a discount on automobile insurance after completion of the course.

Contact your local insurance agent or visit AAA.com for information on the course.

Any one over 60 should have a complete physical

yearly and a Driving test every 2 years. And all the elderly driving motorhomes or pulling campers should go through the same tests you go through to drive a semi.
