LITTLE ROCK — The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences will host an AARP-sponsored defensive-driving class Sept. 12 at its Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging in Little Rock.
The class costs $12 for AARP members and $14 for nonmembers. The classes are the second Saturday of each month from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the ground floor of the Reynolds Institute, Room G190.
Drivers 55 years old and older will qualify for a discount on their insurance premium after completing the course.
