Honest to God, the people who designed this course (AARP Driver Safety Course) should not be driving. They must have dementia as they repeat and review the same things for 6 or 7 hours. Do you really think people with dementia and other disabilities that would impair their decision making and reflex times can navigate the online site. The reality in Florida is that Doctors and other medical personnel who interact with people who should not be driving have an obligation to report them. They don't!

I spent time AND money to take this course, only to get a $1.10 discount on my insurance, which by the way is going up $63.00. Some of the information was common sense. Find out from your insurance company BEFORE you decide to take this course how much of a discount you will get. I understand the idea behind the course, especially the last section. If the course can be condense a little, it may make it easier to follow.

Spent 6 hours taking the AARP Smart Driver course only to find out GEICO doesn't accept it. The course is mostly common sense and older drivers should already know all of this stuff. I found the course to be quite condescending, they seriously spent time on how to put your seat belt on properly! And there were stretching exercises in there too. What a total waste of time, I learned nothing beyond the fact that AARP thinks anyone over 55 is feeble and simple-minded.

Very sad course. 1. Diagrams are poorly representative and lead you to the wrong answers. 2. The course never addresses some key things that could help every driver for example, a) cars can turn left or right, and it is not necessary to pull over to the left to turn right or pull over to the right to turn left - the car knows exactly what to do when turning, b) use your directionals to signal your turn before stopping in the roadway, c) if you are driving much slower than the speed limit and a car behind you wants to go faster it is okay to pull over and let them pass, and much more!!!

AARP Smart Driver Course Not ACCEPTED by GEICO for Delaware. I spent almost $30 and spent 6 hours of my time for nothing. The course was all common sense, I learned nothing from taking it. What a waste of time and money!

Total Scam. I signed up to evaluate some of the programs, and cannot cancel. I've emailed and called and spoken with reps multiple times.

I took the AARP online driver safety course for $19 this weekend. It took about 4 hours or so at my own pace when I wanted to work on it. When I was done i received the certificate by email and forwarded it to my insurance agent. i received a $58 discount on my 6 month policy which is $116 off of the year! Pretty cool, learned several things I wasn't aware of.

If AARP "knows" what you actually get with a membership, i've never spoke to one. Here's an example: I wanted to join AARP roadside Assistance but i had questions: They say i am covered for 100 miles on towing so i asked, "Okay, is that a 'discount'? Is it free? What's the deal?" - I got transferred to the insruance company associated with them. The chat person, they were out in a HOT SECOND. They threw up some phone numbers then BAM, it was OVER. I call and the support and same thing (transfer) asked the insurance guy the same question, he wanted to transfer me back to AARP. Are you getting the idea? NOBODY knew what was going on. NOBODY had the answer. All they wanted to do was keep transferring me. It was ANNOYING. They were VERY simple qustions with very EASY answers bit NOBODY could answer. I didn't want to be the guy, stuck out on the highway, and THEN find out that my coverage was USELESS. Here's the real scare: One page says, $5.xx a month for the roadside assistance. Another page says "that's with our auto instance" and then ANOTHER page says, "There are FOUR different layers of roadside coverage". I am SHOCKED over the changes as you read and i think THAT is why NOBODY would answer my questions. Talk about HIDDEN information that you gotta DIG for and then, when you call to verify, NOBODY can answer you. Old people don't have a CHANCE against AARP. I mean WHAT do you get from these guys other than some cheezy gift and a lot of papework?
