Seniors driving course offered

Kona Palisades Association is sponsoring an AARP Driver Safety Class on Dec. 16 in Kona Palisades Recreation Center on lower Kaiminani Drive.

This is a refresher class for older drivers that does not include driving or written tests. It covers subjects that may affect drivers as they age, such as hearing, eyesight, reflexes, rules of the road and other subjects. It is last class offered this year. Starting in January, a new Smart Driver version of the class will be taught.

Participants may receive up to a 10 percent discount on auto insurance.
