The leading cause of death for Americans from the ages of 15 to 20 is traffic collisions… That is why the California Highway Patrol has started the Start Smart program to educated newly licensed teens drivers on safety. CHP Officers teach the class and talk to teen drivers about collision avoidance techniques, responsibilities and seat belt usage. The next Start Smart class is today in Santa Barbara. You can sign up or find out more about the class by calling 967.1234.
