Area AARP Smart Driver Classes to Be Offered Through June

From April through June 2022, AARP is offering driver safety classes.

It has been many years since most area residents received their driver’s licenses. However, the driving experience is significantly changing: changing vehicle technologies; new roadway designs; new vehicle laws; and significant changes in physical ability. Residents can refresh their knowledge and skills, and earn an insurance discount by attending one of the AARP Smart Driver courses being offered.

Anyone can attend the two-day classes. Attendance at the one-day class requires proof of taking any driver safety class in the last 3 years. There is a fee for taking the class.

There are no tests, including actual driving, required to complete this classroom course. The instructor, Robert Deweese, has taught over 340 classes in the last 16 years.

Additional information can be obtained from Deweese at (814) 931-7270.

Blair Senior Services provides free hot lunch at all locations. Donations are accepted. Call the specific Blair Senior Services location to make a reservation.
