Library will offer AARP driving course

The Old Bridge Public Library, in conjunction with AARP, will present the AARP Smart Driver Course 10 a.m.-1 p.m. June 7 and 8 at the library main branch, Route 516 and Cottrell Road.

Topics will include the effects of medication on driving; how to reduce driver distractions; proper use of safety belts, air bags, anti-lock brakes and new-car technology; techniques for handling left turns, right-of-way and roundabouts; and how to adjust driving to compensate for age-related physical changes.

Participants, who must attend both sessions in order to successfully complete the course, may be eligible to reduce up to 2 points from their driving record and/or receive an auto-insurance premium reduction. The class is open to drivers of all ages.

Course fee, which will be collected at the door, is $15 for AARP members and $20 for nonmembers. Cash, or checks payable to AARP, will be accepted.

Registration is required by calling 732-721-5600, ext. 5033 or by logging on to www.oldbridgelibrary.org/events.
