Driver refresher course comes to Winter Springs Civic Center Oct. 15

Winter Springs drivers age 50 and older can reserve a place in an AARP Smart Driver course next Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026, at the Civic Center, 400 N. Edgemon Ave.

The class runs from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Eastern time. The city’s recreation catalog showed registration open for the October session when checked Oct. 9.

The online listing displays a $0 registration amount, but the course itself is not free. The city says participants pay the instructor when they attend: $20 for AARP members or $25 for nonmembers, by cash or check.

The refresher covers defensive-driving situations such as roundabouts and following distances, along with vehicle safety features and changes that can affect driving as people age. The city says space is limited.
