The AARP Smart Driver course teaches valuable defensive driving strategies and provides a refresher of the rules of the road. Since 1979, the course has helped more than 20 million drivers learn research-based tips to adapt their driving to compensate for physical and cognitive changes that may occur with aging. The course has been recently updated with new content, so attendees will receive the most up-to-date information about driving in Illinois. Plus, participants may qualify for a multi-year automobile insurance discount by completing the course. Anyone interested in learning more about this discount should contact their automobile insurance provider.
This session of the course is being offered on December 16th & 17th from 9 AM – 1 PM. Space is limited and attendees must pre-register for the course by calling the DeKalb Township at 815-758-8282. The classroom course costs $20 for AARP Members and $25 for non-members. Financial Assistance is available to qualifying DeKalb Township residents who are unable to cover the cost of the course on their own. All inquiries about this course can be directed to Kimberly Barrios, Administrative & Communications Lead for the DeKalb Township.
