The Mruk Family Education Center on Aging offers the AARP Driver Safety Course monthly, and the next course is scheduled for Monday, September 12 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the MFECOA on the Baxter Regional Medical Center campus.

• identify the most common crash situations faced
• reduce the chances of having a crash
• be updated on knowledge and understanding of today's roads, vehicles and other road users
• think about how they drive
• identify when driving may no longer be safe

The cost of the program is $15 for AARP members and $20 for non-members. For more information or to register, call the MFECOA at (870) 508-3880, email mfecoa@baxterregional.org, or click here to register online.
