The California Highway Patrol’s (CHP) Moorpark Area office is offering a free Start Smart class for teenage drivers and their parents on June 11, 2015, and June 25, 2015. The class will be held at the CHP’s Moorpark Area office located on 610 Spring Road, California 93021. The classes begin at 6:00 P.M. and end at approximately 8:00 P.M.

The Start Smart program is aimed at helping future and newly licensed teenage drivers become aware of the responsibilities that accompany the privilege of being a licensed California driver. The program is designed as an educational tool for parents and teenagers in an effort to reduce the number of teenage injuries and deaths resulting from traffic collisions. The program also provides teens and parents with information on defensive driving, traffic laws in California, dynamics of traffic collisions, tips on avoiding traffic collisions and DUI awareness.

For more information or to make a reservation, please call the CHP’s Moorpark Area office at (805) 553-0800. Funding for this campaign is provided by the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
