Save 10% on your car insurance if you are 55 or older and take this class.
Senior Traffic Safety Education is a course approved by the Department of Public Safety to satisfy the requirements of MS 658.28 and Rule 7411.7700 as an accident prevention course for people 55 years old or older. By completing this class the participants will receive a 10% discount on their automobile insurance.

The accident prevention course requires eight hours of class time the first time a person takes the class. After three or more years a four hour refresher class is needed to renew the discount.
STSE provides the 8 hour initial class and the four hour refresher class in a unique way. The first 4 hour class is attended by the participants who have NEVER taken an accident prevention course before. At the second four hour class those participants will be joined by those people who just need the refresher. In this way it is possible to operate a class in communities where other organizations would require more students than are available.
