SOUTH COUNTY : Senior Workshops Help Improve Driving

Classes to help seniors improve driving skills and get discounts on auto insurance will be offered across South County in May.

Sponsored by the American Assn. of Retired Persons, the $8 two-day workshops are open to anyone 50 or older. Advance registration is required.

Upon completion of the eight-hour clinic, seniors receive a certificate that can be sent to auto insurance companies for good-driver discounts.
