Daily Planner: Start Driving Smart With The CHP

Want to know what's going on in your community? Stop by Larkspur City Hall or Corte Madera Town Hall for committee meetings.

Here are some of the highlights happening around the Larkspur and Corte Madera Twin Cities area August 13-14:

The California Highway Patrol on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. will present a Start Smart Class at the CHP Marin Area Office, which is located at 53 San Clemente Drive, Corte Madera.

The leading cause of death for Americans 15-20 years old is motor vehicle collisions. 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 purpose of this program is to reduce the number of teen-related injuries and deaths due to collisions.

There is no cost for attending the class. Parents and new drivers interested in attending the class need to RSVP with the Marin CHP office, by Monday, August 13, at (415) 924-1100. Space is limited to the first 30 students and parents, additional classes will be scheduled as needed.
