AARP Driver Safety
Program
Smart Driver Course
Saturday, January 17,
8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., CCW
Purchase your $17 ticket online or
at the Member Services Office
TheAARPDriver Safety programoffers the
nation’s first and largest refresher course
designed specifically for older drivers.
The program consists of one (1) four hour
session and costs $17. The course helps
drivers refine existing skills and develop
safe defensive driving techniques. Both
AARP members and non-members may
take the course;
however, non-AARP
members must pay an extra $5 at the
door. AARP members must bring
their AARP card to avoid the addi-
tional charge.
Upon completion of the course, graduates
MAY receive a discount on their automobile
insurance premiums. Please check with
your auto insurance carrier to see what
discount, if any, will apply.
AARP courses do not qualify for ticket
dismissal in Texas unless you have previ-
ously contacted the appropriate court and
received approval to take this course in
place of a Defensive Driving Course.
Remember to bring your driver’s li-
cense, AARP card and the ticket you
purchased at the CA Office or online.
