An AARP Driver Safety Program will be offered in Geary county this year on October 6th and 7th.

The eight hour course is designed specifically for drivers over the age of 50. The class will help drivers sharpen their driving skills, develop strategies for adjusting to age-related changes in vision, hearing and reaction time, and learn about the effects of medications on driving performance.

The class will be taught by an AARP-certified instructor and will meet on October 6th and 7th from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm at the 4-/Senior Citizens Center at 1025 S. Spring Valley Road in Junction City.

Lunch will be available at the Senior Center for $3.50 for those over the age of 60 and $5.25 for anyone under 60. Meal reservations must be made when registering for the class.

Class size is limited, so it is important to register early. You can register for the course by contacting the Geary County Senior Center at 238-4015. The deadline to enroll is noon on Monday, October 3, 2016.

The course is $15 for AARP members and $20 for non-members.

Insurance companies may provide a premium reduction for their customers that complete the course.
