Drivers in the Chiloquin area will have an opportunity to refresh their driving skills and potentially reduce their auto insurance premiums during an upcoming AARP Smart Driver course at the Chiloquin Community Center.
The class will take place on Friday, May 22, 2026, beginning at 8:30am at the Chiloquin Community Center, 140 First Street, Chiloquin.
The AARP Smart Driver course is designed to help drivers of all ages improve safety behind the wheel by learning updated driving strategies, reviewing current traffic laws, and understanding how aging can affect driving ability. Participants will also learn practical techniques for reducing distractions, managing difficult driving conditions, and increasing overall confidence on the road.
Many insurance companies offer discounts to drivers who complete the course. Under Oregon law, drivers age 55 and older may qualify for mandatory insurance premium discounts after completing the class.
