AARP Driver Safety Course

The AARP Driver Safety Course is co-sponsored by McDonough District Hospital and Dr. Jill Brody.

The course is presented in a classroom setting by Ken Cole of Macomb. The 8-hour program consists of instructor guidance, a video, and discussion of driving concerns. You will also learn tips on how to avoid driving hazards. There is no driving involved and no tests are given.

Illinois state law requires that all insurance companies give an auto insurance discount to all drivers age 50 and older who complete this accident prevention course. Please contact your auto insurance agent regarding the amount of your discount.

The course is $15 for AARP members with a valid card, and $20 for non-members, payable to AARP the day of the course. Pre-registration is required and seating is limited. Register today by calling the MDH Public Relations office at (309) 836-1557 or emailing ELSmith@mdh.org.
