AARP Smart Driver 5-Hour Refresher Class
AARP
Driver Safety classes are designed for drivers age 50 or older, and are now
being offered in the Benicia area. It's a great way to refresh your driving
skills, and earn a discount on your auto insurance for up to three years, too. For 2014, the course features a new name, a new look, and an
all-new curriculum. This
refresher class is designed for drivers who previously completed the full
8-hour AARP Driver Safety course. The class runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on
Friday, Jan. 10. The class is taught at the Benicia
Community Center, 370 East L St. (Use East 4th Street entrance).
Sign up by contacting Benicia Parks and Community Services, 746-4285, or by
visiting the Parks and Community Services office in the Community Center. Enrollment
limited to 25 students per class. The registration fee is $15 for AARP members;
$20 for nonmembers. Pay at the class (cash
or checks payable to “AARP”). Bring a pillow (hard plastic chairs), a
sweater or light coat (the classroom can get cold) and a snack – this is a
5-hour class. Beverages (coffee, tea, or hot chocolate) are available for
purchase onsite.
