CHP to Hold Sept. 25 Teen Driver Course in Corte Madera
The goal of the class is to help young drivers and their parents understand the responsibilities associated with driving a car.
In its ongoing quest to educate young drivers on the responsibilities associated with driving a car, the Marin division of the California Highway Patrol is hosting a teen driver course on Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. at its office in Corte Madera.
"The leading cause of death for Americans 15-20 years old is motor vehicle collisions," CHP spokesman Andrew Barclay said. "The goal of the class is to help young drivers and their parents understand the responsibilities associated with driving a motor vehicle."
Barclay said the class focuses on how poor choices behind the wheel can change the lives of everyone involved. The purpose of this program is to reduce the number of teen-related injuries and deaths due to collisions, he said.
