To the Editor:
The recent accident in Edgecomb where the vehicle involved was taking a left-hand turn into the pottery business was upsetting to me. As a longtime instructor, now retired, for the AARP Driver Safety program, we always suggest avoiding left turns if at all possible.
Plan your trips to avoid these if you can do it, especially on busy roads.
There are more strategies taught in the one-day, four-hour classes usually held at Spectrum Generations in Damariscotta. There is no driver test. Think of it as a refresher course. Insurance companies will recognize completion with premium discounts.
Everyone wins and mature drivers’ skills will improve.
