CHP Working To Save Teen Lives With No-Cost Driver Education Class

The approximately two-hour class targets teens between the ages of 15-19, and their parents or guardians.

Teens and their parents are encouraged to attend the California Highway Patrol’s upcoming Start Smart program, a driver safety education class that targets new and future licensed teenage drivers from across Southwest Riverside County.

The no-cost class will be offered June 26, 6 p.m., at Temecula City Hall Civic Center-Conference Center, 41000 Main Street.

The approximately two-hour class targets teens between the ages of 15-19, and their parents or guardians. CHP officers discuss traffic collision avoidance techniques, collision causational factors, driver/parent responsibilities, seatbelt usage, etc.  

Testimonies are provided by officers who have investigated fatal collisions involving teens, along with the latest “Red Asphalt” video, which chronicles the aftermath of several teenage driver collisions.
