The AARP Driver Safety Program is the nation’s first and largest classroom refresher course designed to meet the safety needs of experienced and mature drivers. It is an 8-hour class which helps drivers learn about defensive driving techniques, new traffic laws, rules of the road and much more, and it helps older drivers learn how to adjust their driving to age-related changes in vision, hearing and reaction time. Also, drivers 55 years of age and older who finish this course can now get discounts on auto insurance in Maine.
