AARP Driver’s Safety Program

We will be hosting the AARP Driver’s Safety Course on March 28, 2023 and March 29, 2023 from 9:00am-1:00pm. We are excited to be able to offer this very informative course to our parishioners and community.

This 8-hour program is taught in two, 4 hour sessions and is designed to help drivers refine existing driving skills for motorists 50 years of age and older. This course helps develop safe, defensive driving techniques and covers a variety of different topics. And best of all, there is NO TEST! The course will be taught by a AARP expert facilitator, Larry Bukowski who has taught the class at St. Therese’s for a number of years.

As we all know, as we get older, we experience physical and mental changes that can affect the way we drive. This course will cover topics such as vision and hearing changes, effects of medications, reaction time changes, left turns and other right-of-way situations, new laws and how they affect you, and hazardous driving situations.

Graduates of the two-day course MAY be eligible to receive a state mandated multiyear discount on their auto insurance. Be sure to check with your automobile insurance to see if this discount might apply to your premium.

The price of this course is $20 for AARP members and $25 for non-AARP members.

Registration for the course is required. Please call or stop by St. Therese of Lisieux’s Parish Office Secretary at 586-254-4433 or Marilyn Cito, Parish Nurse at 586-254-4433 Ext #320 or via email at Marilync@stol.church to reserve a spot. Payment is due on the first day of class.
