    Mature Driver Improvement Courses

    Under Pennsylvania law, you are entitled to at least a 5% discount on your vehicle insurance if you are 55 or older and successfully complete a PennDOT-approved Basic Mature Driver Improvement Course.

    Overview

    There are ten organizations that offer the PennDOT-approved Basic and Refresher Mature Driver Improvement courses. All of these approved courses address the specific safety needs of the mature driver by helping the mature driver understand how aging affects driving abilities and providing insight about driving on today's roadways. There are no written or practical driving tests. The course fees are moderate, but vary with each organization.

     
    In addition, under Pennsylvania law, drivers 55 and older are eligible to receive a 5 percent discount on their vehicle insurance by completing the Basic Mature Driver Improvement Course. In order to maintain the discount, individuals would have to take the Refresher Mature Driver Improvement Course every three years. Individuals should check with their insurance carrier for specifics of their program.
