TEEN DRIVERS; DRIVE SMART TO STAY SAFE
The primary objective of “Start Smart” is to provide teens and their parent/guardians with an interactive safe driving awareness class which will illustrate how poor choices behind the wheel of a car can affect the lives of numerous people. The classes will also encompass the following: The California Highway Patrol’s (CHP) Mission of Safety, Service, and Security, the responsibilities of newly licensed drivers, the responsibilities of parents/guardians and collision avoidance techniques.
“The CHP’s goal and mission has always been about saving lives on our streets and highways. This program specifically targets the teen driver to aid in the reduction of teen fatalities as a result of traffic collisions,” said Captain Bill Dance of the Altadena Area.
The Altadena CHP Office cordially invites teenagers and parents/guardians to attend a free Start Smart class. The class dates and location are as follows:
Friday, May 7, 2010 at 6:00 p.m.
Saturday, May 22, 2010 at 6:00 p.m.
