CHP Offering Teen Driving Course This Month
The free class is for both teens and their parents, aimed at reducing crashes.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) will present a Start Smart Class at the CHP Marin Area Office on Tuesday, January 26, at 7:00 p.m.
The Start Smart program is a cooperative effort between the CHP, allied law enforcement agencies, teenagers, and their parents/guardians. The goal of the class is to help young drivers and their parents understand the responsibilities associated with driving a motor vehicle. The class will also reveal how poor choices behind the wheel can change the lives of everyone involved.
The leading cause of death for Americans 15-20 years old is motor vehicle collisions. The purpose of this program is to reduce the number of teen-related injuries and deaths due to collisions.
