Marin CHP Offers Teen Driver Course

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) will be presenting a Start Smart Class at the CHP Marin Area Office.

The Start Smart program is a cooperative effort between the CHP, allied law enforcement agencies, teenagers, and their parents/guardians. The leading cause of death for Americans 15-20 years old is motor vehicle collision. 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 show 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 CHP Officer Rardin, by March 8th, 2011, at (415) 924-1100 ext. 218 or by email at crardin@chp.ca.gov. Space is limited to the first 30 students and parents, additional classes will be scheduled as needed.
