A mature driver program can help older adults learn to remain safe, responsible drivers. As an added benefit, completing a mature driver course may decrease insurance premiums. Drivers aged 60 and older who complete a DMV approved four-hour course are eligible for a 5% premium discount for up to two years. Approved courses are offered by AARP and the American Automobile Association.
