Why Take a Defensive Driving Course?
The AARP Smart Driver course is the nation’s first refresher course specifically designed for drivers age 50 and older. In many states, drivers may benefit from a discount on their auto insurance premium upon completing the course. And you will learn something new along the way. In fact, an evaluation of the course found that 97% of participants changed at least one driving habit as a result of what they learned. Our Smart Driver online course will help you:
• Receive a multi-year discount on your auto insurance.*
• Refresh your driving skills and your knowledge of the rules — and hazards —
of the road.
• Reduce your chances of receiving a traffic violation or getting into an
accident.
• Learn at your own pace — you'll have 60 days to complete the course!
Course highlights:
The AARP Smart Driver online course covers:
• Research-based safe driving strategies.
• Information on the effects of medication on driving.
• Preventive measures to reduce driver distractions.
• Proper use of safety belts, air bags, anti-lock brakes, and new technology
found in cars today.
• Techniques for handling left turns, right-of-way, and roundabouts.
• State-specific rules and regulations in 19 key areas, including construction

AARP's Smart DriverTEK workshop is designed to help people over 50 learn about the safety technology they are likely to find in their new cars Current and emerging technologies are being installed in an ever-increasing number of vehicle models. The problem? Many older drivers don’t take advantage of these new safety features. The goal of the Smart DriverTEK class is to correct this, extending the number of years those over 50 are able to safely stay on the road.
