Calling all Minnesota drivers looking to brush up on their skills: a new round of defensive driving refresher classes is set to begin this January. Offered by the MN Highway Safety and Research Center, these courses are not just a means to stay sharp on the road but also a smart way to save some cash on car insurance.

Thrifty motorists should know that completing this course can put a 10 percent discount on their insurance premium. All it takes is to sign up for the initial eight-hour session, which then makes you eligible for the shorter, four-hour refresher class needed every three years, according to Mary Ann Young Center.

For those ready to steer clear of trouble, the next availability for the refresher class opens up on Thursdays — taking place on January 11, February 8, March 14, and April 11. Classes run from 8:45 AM to 1 PM at the MAYC. There is a $25 fee, which is a small price to pay for peace of mind, and potentially fewer dings on both your car and your wallet, as per Mary Ann Young Center.

Interested drivers should step on it to reserve their place. Registration is available either by phone, at 763-786-9375, or online at the city of Blaine's official website.
