CHP Smart Start Class Set for June 14

The California Highway Patrol in Fairfield will be conducting Start Smart classes.  The CHP in conjunction with the Vacaville Public Library will be hosting a class on:

June 14, 2011.  This class will be held at the Vacaville Public Library at 1 Town Square Place in the city of Vacaville.  Classes will run from 6-8 P.M.

Start Smart is an education program for both teenage drivers and their parents.  Statistics show that young drivers who have recently received their driver’s license are five times more likely to be involved in an accident than more seasoned, experienced drivers.  Traffic accidents continue to be the leading cause of death for young people, age 15-20. Start Smart is a review of the rules of the road, some video clips and related movies designed to inform parents of the restrictions on teen drivers and give some important information to those teens that are about to or have recently received their license.  There is no cost for the classes, no need to sign up and parents are welcome to attend.

Any questions can be directed to Officer Chris Parker at the Solano CHP Office in Fairfield (707) 428-2100

This program is supported by a grant awarded by the California Office of Traffic Safety Administration through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
