Start Smart: Driver Safety for Teens & Parents

Start the new school year right this fall and Level Up your safe driving skills!

​Start Smart is a program from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) aimed at helping newly licensed (or soon to be licensed) teen drivers (ages 15 to 19) become more aware of the responsibilities that accompany the privilege of being a licensed California driver.

Teens and their parents/guardians are invited to attend and participate in a free 2 hour long Start Smart class, hosted by local CHP officers. Learn collision avoidance techniques and how to identify collision-causing elements such as excessive speed, driving under the influence, and distracted driving.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be awarded a certificate.

No registration needed. Parents/guardians are encouraged to attend this class alongside their teens!

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
