What is the Start Smart Program?

The California Highway Patrol's Start Smart program is a FREE driver safety education class which targets new and future licensed teenage drivers between the ages of 15 - 20 and their parents/guardians.  CHP officers will discuss traffic collision avoidance techniques, collision causing factors, driver/parent responsibilities, and seatbelt usage.  
 
Our goal is to help young drivers and their parents/guardians understand the responsibilities associated with driving a motor vehicle, show how a poor choice behind the wheel can change the lives of everyone involved, and to reduce the number of teen-related injuries and deaths due to collisions.  To view additional information for the upcoming classes, please click here.
