As drivers mature, they must adapt to many technological innovations in the vehicles they drive and learn
to compensate for the physical changes they experience. Coaching the Mature Driver was developed specifically to teach older
drivers defensive driving techniques and help them adjust their driving styles as they age.
This course is approved by the State of Oregon for the Defensive Driving Discount. --TOP
