55+ Driver Safety


Enrichment Adult / Finance -
AE 2425 Fall

Important Legislated Update: There has been an important update to the MN Statute regarding 55+ Accident Prevention courses. During the 2024 legislative session a change was made to the Accident Prevention Course Rule. Effective July 1, the new rule states that the course must be a total of at least 4 hours. This means a first-time participant can take a 4-hour program as their initial training – the 8-hour will no longer be a requirement.


If you're 55 or older, get a discount on your personal auto insurance and improve your driving skills. The course, developed by the National Safety Council, teaches basic crash prevention techniques and has a proven record of reducing traffic violations and incidents. It's taught by experienced, professional traffic safety instructors, including officers of the Minnesota State Patrol. The class consists of lecture, films and discussions. There is no behind-the-wheel driving and there are no tests.

According to Minnesota state law, people age 55 and older who complete a state-approved defensive driving course are eligible to receive a 10%, three-year discount on auto insurance.  After you complete the course, you will receive a certificate of completion to give to your insurance company.
