Drivers 50+ can save money on insurance premiums
It was so popular the first time, the Orcas Senior Center and Orcas Medical Foundation are co-sponsoring another one! Drivers age 50 and over can save money on insurance by taking this one-day AARP Smart Driver Course that will occur on Thursday, May 21, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Orcas Senior Center. Enrollment limited to 30.
The course will take place entirely indoors at the Senior Center. There is no driving involved and no tests to take – just useful information to keep you safe on the road. Here’s how the course will help you:
- Update your driving skills and knowledge of the rules and hazards of the road.
- Learn about normal age-related physical changes and how to adjust your driving to compensate.
- Reduce your chances of receiving a traffic violation, getting into an accident, or becoming injured.
- Get an insurance discount. Auto insurance companies in most states (Washington being one of them) provide a multi-year discount to course graduates!
Just $15 for AARP members, $20 for non-members. Optional lunch is $5. To register and order optional lunch, call (360) 376-2677.
All who complete the course will receive a certificate of completion. AARP points out that the amount of insurance savings is up to each individual insurance company.
