Improve your driving
AAA’s Driving Improvement Program is aimed at experienced drivers who wish to improve their driving skills and review defensive driving basics. By completing this class, drivers 60 years of age and older qualify for a minimum 5% discount on their auto insurance (restrictions apply). In fact, some insurers provide that discount to experienced drivers as young as 55. So we encourage you to check with your insurer to see what they offer.
The class will be taught by Wilton Police Sgt. David Hartman on Friday, Jan. 6, from 8:30 to 12:30, in the Comstock Community Center.
