The Benefits Go Beyond the Wheel
Completing the Oregon Mature Driver Course offers more than just a refresher on road rules:
- Boosted Confidence: Students often report feeling more comfortable and alert on the road after completing the course.
- Proven Safety Outcomes: Studies show that driver education reduces the likelihood of being involved in an accident. Staying informed helps reduce risky behaviors and improve response times.
- State-Mandated Insurance Discount: Upon completion, Oregon drivers are entitled to an insurance discount by law. The discount remains valid for 3 years, and for drivers aged 70 or older, it must be renewed every 2 years.
- Flexible Online Access: The course can be completed entirely online from the comfort of your home, at your own pace, and on any device. Whether you prefer learning in short sessions or all at once, the format works around your lifestyle.
How Much Can You Save?
The savings can really add up. Here are a few examples:
- If your annual premium is $1,200 and you receive a 10% discount, that’s $120 per year—or $360 over 3 years.
- For a higher premium of $1,800 per year, a 15% discount would save you $270 annually—or $810 over 3 years.
- Even with a more modest $900 premium, a 10% discount nets you $90 a year—$270 over 3 years.
Now compare that to the cost of the course: just $17.99. For less than the price of a tank of gas, you could be saving hundreds of dollars for years to come.
And best of all, Defensive Drivers Institute will send your certificate directly to your insurance agent upon request, helping you lock in those savings without any hassle.
Understanding the Impact of Aging on Driving
One of the central themes of the course is the effect aging can have on driving ability. Topics include:
- Slower reaction times and how to compensate
- Managing glare and nighttime driving
- Adjusting driving habits based on physical and cognitive changes
- Safe medication management behind the wheel
This isn’t about telling people to stop driving—it’s about empowering older adults with the knowledge and skills to drive smarter and safer.
