AAA Central Penn has been reminding mature drivers to stay safe on the roads.  AAA Central Penn service the nine-county region in Central Pennsylvania. It has about ten branches and the driving school is in Lancaster.

“So, these are classroom courses that offer a mandatory insurance discount upon completion. Many of those who take this course usually leave with some renewed sense of confidence or even just having their questions answered about some of the recent traffic lot changes, “said Erik Fitzgerald of AAA Central Penn.”

The mature driving course is for drivers 55 and older. AAA of Central Penn is also breaking the stigmas associated with mature drivers.

“Some feel that once you reach a certain age, you shouldn’t be driving anymore. Some feel that age doesn’t determine how old or how long they should be driving. And as a result, some feel that they should be able to drive well until they’re 100 or so. By taking this course, it puts it puts the control back into their hands and gives them a better perspective on determining when it may be necessary to retire from driving or just things that they can make, changes they can make along the way to enhance the skills that they have, “said Fitzgerald.”
