By taking the driver safety course, drivers learn research-based safety strategies that can reduce the likelihood of having a crash. They include: Minnesota state-specific driving regulations; proper use of seat belt, air bags, antilock brakes and new technology found in vehicles today; the importance of eliminating distractions, such as eating, smoking, and using a cellphone; learn ways to manage and accommodate common age-related changes in vision, hearing, and reaction time; and understand the effects of medications on driving.

This online course is conducted by Jim Ramette, Attorney at Law. Jim will help you to write your own Will in an engaging and interesting seminar format. He will present a short background on Wills, and then explain the unique legal PDF Will he developed which allows you to write, and change, a Will for your circumstances. You may change/update your Will - privately in your home - as often as you decide without additional cost. This is more than a general information course! Married or single, with or without children - it is important to have a Will to convey your wishes, have control over the distribution of your property, and to appoint your children's guardians. Discuss questions with instructor. Following class you will complete your Will in the privacy of your home. A video of the webinar will be available afterwards. Computer needed to attend the online class. Helpful information will be sent after enrollment and before class.Post-class computer and email are needed as materials are accessed by free Adobe® Reader® software.
