Seniors for Safe Driving programs for Mercer County residents are scheduled for April and May.

Some new, some updated and some refresher safe-driving instruction is provided to help seniors drive safely for several more years. Tips from more than 100 years of AAA and national driving safety organizations’ experience are included. No classroom or road testing is involved. Cost is $14.
