This class will be held from 3-7 p.m. Thursday, April 8, at Pequot Lakes High School. The fee is $24 and pre-registration is required due to class size restrictions. COVID-19 protocols will be followed.
Participants must have taken an eight-hour discount course to qualify.
This class will explore changes in laws and the latest vehicle technology, and will provide easy-to-use defensive driving tips. Completion of this course could allow for a 10% reduction on most automobile insurance premiums for those age 55 and over.
