Seniors can save 5% on their car insurance by taking Burns’ Seniors for Safe Driving class

EBENSBURG, March 13 -- State Rep. Frank Burns will host a Seniors for Safe Driving course next month at the Ebensburg Senior Center.

“Seniors have been very enthusiastic and receptive toward this class, so I continue to host it,” Burns said. “My office will take any opportunity to help our seniors save money and ensure their safety behind the wheel.”

The PennDOT-approved course allows mature drivers 55 or older to refresh existing driving techniques and cultivate a positive attitude toward the road. There will be no on-the-road driving or in-class testing; this will only be classroom instruction. Burns also said the course will help older drivers improve their awareness.

Participating seniors will receive a 5% discount on their automobile insurance. The state-mandated discount is one of the benefits of the $17 class, which is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, April 25 at the Ebensburg Senior Center, 209 N. Julian St.

Interested participants must RSVP by April 17 by calling either of Burns’ district offices at (814) 472-8021 or (814) 535-8400 and providing their driver’s license number.
