BRATTLEBORO -- If you are 55 years old or older, want to refresh your driving skills, and get a discount on car insurance, you will want to register for the AARP Driver Safety Program at Brattleboro Memorial Hospital.
The program is a classroom refresher course conducted in two consecutive half-day sessions. The dates are Thursday, June 28 and Friday, June 29, 5-9 p.m. The two evening course will be held in the Brew Barry Conference Center at BMH. The program is designed to help elders improve their skills and prevent traffic accidents.
The class covers the normal changes in vision, hearing, and reaction time associated with aging and provides practical techniques to compensate for these changes. Participants will also receive a thorough review of the "rules of the road," with emphasis on defensive driving practices. The course features an easy-to-read workbook based on data collected from federal and state agencies and traffic safety organizations.
Automobile insurance companies in 35 states including Vermont provide discounts to AARP Driver Safety Program graduates. Attendees must be present at both days' sessions to receive a certificate of completion.

i think that it is awsome that elders can refresh there driving skills so that they can do this for there safety and everyone Else's safety. Because if you have been driving for alot of years you could get road rage or just alot of aggression and you might think you can not pay attention to the road as much because you think you are a great driver.
