WCCC Smart Driving Course at 3 area sites; registration underway
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) at Westmoreland County Community College is offering an AARP Smart Driver Course at three locations starting March 12.
The eight-hour class will cover how to handle adverse driving conditions and traffic hazards, in addition to the effects of aging and medications on driving.
There is no actual driving or written test involved in the program. Automobile insurance companies in Pennsylvania voluntarily provide premium reductions to graduates of the AARP Smart Driver Course.
Additionally, four-hour refresher classes are offered to those who previously completed the eight-hour class.
The program, developed by AARP and sponsored by RSVP, will be held at the following locations: Westmoreland County Community College, 145 Pavilion Lane, Youngwood; Westmoreland-Latrobe, 130 Depot Street, Latrobe and Latrobe Senior Center, Fifth Ward School Building, Avenue C, Latrobe.
The fee for the class is $20 and registration is required.
