Community members will soon get the opportunity to refresh their driving skills thanks to Chestnut Knoll At Home, Gilbertsville, and AARP. Chestnut Knoll At Home will hold an AARP Safe Driver Course on Tuesday, Sept. 15 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Chestnut Knoll At Home, located at 1041 East Philadelphia Avenue, Gilbertsville.
The course is designed to help participants sharpen their driving skills and knowledge of road rules and hazards, learn how to adjust driving due to age-related physical changes and reduce chances of receiving traffic violations or getting into an accident. Learn how to maintain a proper following distance, the safest way to change lanes, effects of medications on driving and more.
Successful completion can result in discounts on car insurance (contact your insurance agent for details). The course is available to drivers aged 50 years and older.
The cost of the course for AARP members, with proof of membership, is $15 per person. The cost for non-members is $20 per person. All participants must bring their AARP membership card (if applicable) and valid driver’s license.
The event includes breakfast and lunch, courtesy of Chestnut Knoll At Home. Seating is limited. Please RSVP by calling 610-473-3328.
