CHP Smart Start Classes Set for Wednesday

The California Highway Patrol in Fairfield will be conducting Start Smart classes.  The CHP in conjunction with Vacaville Christian High School will be hosting a class on:

Wednesday Aug 24, 2011.  This class will be held at the Vacaville Christian High School at 821 Marshall Road in the city of Vacaville.  Class will run from 6-8 P.M. in the High School Computer Laboratory.

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 required to attend.

Any questions can be directed to Officer Chris Parker at the Solano CHP Office in Fairfield.

(707) 428-2100 or by cell phone at (510) 318-1162

This program is supported by a grant awarded by the California Office of Traffic Safety

Administration through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
