[QUOTE=bopat;2401212]Am I reading this right, FL law requires auto insurers to give people 55 years old or older a discount if we complete a safety course? Anybody know where we can do a safety course?

AARP offers four driver safety classes a month. At the end of the class you get a certificate which you can get to your insurance agent. From an ad in the POA bulletin:
AARP now offers a Free 60–90-minute Smart Driver Technology workshop for those thinking of either leasing, purchasing or just upgrading to a newer vehicle.
...
AARP Driver Safety now offers a 6 hour “Smart Driver”course for seniors; it is designed for those 50 and older. All available courses are listed at AARP.org/findacourse or call (877) 846-3299.

In The Villages, there are at least 4 classes each month. The classes are either two days, 9 AM to Noon or one day* 9 AM - 4 PM. Fee is $20 for AARP members, $25 for non-members.
