Johnstown to host ‘Senior Safe Driving’ course

HARRISBURG, Pa. (WTAJ) — State Representative Jim Rigby (R-Cambria/Somerset) announced a “Senior Safe Driving” course, which will be held in October.

The course, scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 31, will run from 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at the Solomon Run Fire Hall (176 Mt. Airy Drive, Johnstown). The PennDOT-approved driving course is designed for seniors aged 55 and older, at the cost of $17 per person.

“The recent class we held in Windber was so popular that it generated a waiting list, so we decided to schedule another one as soon as possible,” Rigby said. “It’s given solely in a classroom setting and provides a good test of the rules of the road for anyone who may have lost confidence behind the wheel.”
