Benefits for Alabama Mature Drivers
One benefit to being a mature driver is possible discounts. Some insurance plans offer financial discounts for drivers 50 years and older, and completing a training may also offer a discount.
You should ask your insurance company about specific discounts available to you.
Completing a Alabama mature driver course offers financial savings and the possibility of keeping your driver's license for years to come. A mature driver course acts as a refresher on basic driving skills in fast paced situations while providing extra savings to you.
A Full-Proof Safety Course
Each mature driving course differs slightly. Our class provides a summary of state laws, regulations, and traffic facts. It also teaches driving skills that will increase your safety on the road.
Review of Traffic Laws
One of the main benefits experienced drivers receive from completing a drivers safety course is reviewing basic driving skills. It's quite likely traffic laws have been updated, and that news ones have gone into effect, since you first tested for your driver's license at your DMV. Who knows - you may even end up finding an interesting law or phrase within the course that's worthy of a t-shirt or bumper sticker!
Gaining Super Skills
Physical, emotional and mental health all come into play when it comes to safe driving. As people age, their senses change. Some senses, like vision and hearing, grow weaker. As drivers, this affects how they interact with other drivers, as well as their response time. In a mature driver's safety course, you will learn skills to navigate the health limitations of yourself and other drivers.
Our mature driving course will teach you scanning and cushion strategies. These skills will become second nature to you after review and practice.
Creating a Cushion - A Modern Technique
The cushion method is just one skill you will learn in a Mature Driver course. The idea is to keep a sufficient amount of space between you and other drivers, so that, if an accident around you does occur, you have time and space to avoid it.
Relinquishing your own driving privileges is a difficult scenario to navigate. A Mature Driver course will cover recognizable signs which indicate that it's time for a driver to turn in their keys. This course will allow you to spot the signals that mean a driver, including yourself, should hand over their keys.
Navigating Heavy Traffic
Almost every driver loathes hitting heavy traffic on their drive. However, millions of people all around the country are commuting to school, work and other places daily, which means congestion on major highways is bound to happen.
The course will cover how to navigate highway traffic, making clear and safe lane changes, and even exiting and passing large trucks. If you aren't comfortable driving on heavily congested roadways, you might want to investigate alternative routes, or ask a family member or friend for a ride. You could even opt to forgo rush hour altogether, and plan your drive for a different time of day.
Sharing the Road
It's important to be patient and practice defensive driving on the road. A driver's renewal course will give you the skills for handling aggressive drivers, and sharing the road with tractor-trailers and motorcyclists. You will also learn how to avoid distraction while driving.
During stressful situations on the road, you may not remember right away how to properly react. You should ask your driving instructor about tips for quickly recalling the techniques to prepare you for high stress traffic scenarios.
Vehicles Safety Tools
It's hard to imagine that years ago, cars did not have seat belts. Today's cars are equipped with seat belts, airbags, and other safety features. These tools have helped to reduce fatalities from car accidents. Although your driving teacher won't be able to specify the features of every car make and model, you will receive a review of general safety elements. Knowing how to make use of modern safety features, like anti-lock brakes, can help you avoid car accidents.
