The AARP Driver Safety Program is the nation’s first and largest classroom refresher course designed specifically to meet the safety needs of experienced, mature drivers. It is an eight-hour class which helps drivers learn about defensive driving techniques, new traffic laws, rules of the road and much more. It helps older drivers learn how to adjust their driving to age-related changes in vision, hearing and reaction time. Also, drivers 55 years of age and older who complete this course are eligible for auto insurance discounts under provisions of law enacted by the Maine Legislature.
