A safe-driving program for elderly people – those over 55 – will be held Tuesday and Wednesday, April 19 and 20, at the Sartell Middle School.
The eight-hour course will be given in two sessions, one on each of those evenings, from 5-9 p.m., for a total of eight hours.
There will be no written tests or behind-the-wheel tests given to participants. Those who complete the course will receive a completion certificate, which can be submitted to car-insurance companies, most of which give a 10-percent premium discount for a period of up to three years.
The eight-hour course is for those taking the safety program for the first time. Four-hour refresher courses are also offered throughout the area periodically.
The program will be taught by members of the St. Cloud State University Driver Improvement Program.
