To recognize and thank military veterans for their service, the AARP Driver Safety Program is offering a free classroom course to all military personnel — active duty, retired, guard or reserve — regardless of age, from Nov. 1 through Nov. 30, 2011.
This offer, which waives the normal course registration fee, is available to individuals who serve or have served in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard/Reserves or Coast Guard. Spouses (including widows and widowers) are also eligible to take the classroom course, free of charge.
The Arkansas Driver Safety Program is looking for individuals, groups or businesses to host locations where Driver Safety Program courses can be taught as part of this special promotion. For more information about hosting a Driver Safety Program course, contact Arkansas Driver Safety Program Coordinator Joe Petruk at jopetru@sbcglobal.net
To locate and register for an AARP Driver Safety course near you, visit www.aarp.org/findacourse or call 1-888-AARP-NOW (888-227-7669). Pre-registration is required and participants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Be sure to mention the "Veterans Promotion." When you show up for the course, you will need to present a form of military identification. Examples include but are not limited to a military ID, discharge papers (DD Form 214), American Legion card, dependent ID card (DD Form 1173), or a Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) card.
Even the most experienced drivers can benefit from brushing up on their driving skills. The AARP Driver Safety Program teaches valuable defensive driving techniques and provides a refresher about the rules of the road. Plus, by completing the classroom course you could qualify for an automobile insurance discount from your insurance company.
