SARATOGA SPRINGS – Whether traveling to a doctor's appointment or picking up the weekly groceries, seniors rely on retaining their independence by being able to drive to such locations. However, as people age, they lose strength, coordination and flexibility, which can have a major impact on their ability to safely control a car.
On Thursday, Sept. 28 and Friday, Sept. 29 from 9 a.m. to noon, The Summit at Saratoga, 1 Perry Road, will host an AARP Defensive Driver Class.
The six-hour refresher course, which is for drivers over 50, provides a 10 percent car insurance savings and the removal of up to four points from an individual’s license.
Participants must commit to both sessions to receive these discounts.
Class size is limited and participants are encouraged to register as early as possible. The cost to attend is $20 for AARP members and $25 for non-members. AARP members will need to bring their AARP number to the class.
Please make checks payable to “AARP.” Reservations can be made by calling 518-430-2136, or by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. For directions to the community, visit the website summitsaratoga.com.
