The AARP Driver Safety Program is a classroom driver improvement course for all drivers but is specifically designed for those who are age 50 and older.

This program, developed by the AARP, can sharpen driving skills, help prevent accidents and keep older drivers on the road longer and more safely.

For many people, the course can help them save money on car insurance.

Ohio law permits auto insurance carriers to offer a discount on premiums to qualified graduates of the approved AARP class. Policyholders should contact their carriers for more information about such discounts.
