On December 8th, from 6pm to 8pm, Deputy Biter and Deputy Vasquez will conduct a Start Smart Program in the City of Fillmore. This program will be held at the Fillmore City Fire Station Briefing room.

The class centers on the different laws and aspects for new drivers or those teenagers looking to get their licenses. It gives the people an image of the consequences of their actions while driving. It gives a forum for those attending, to pose questions, learn laws pertaining to new drivers and different techniques for driving. The class will pose many situations and scenarios for new or perspective drivers, as well as their parents to reflect on and consider.

The Fillmore Police Department is now hosting a FREE Start Smart Driver Safety Education Class for teenagers and their parents/guardians. Classes are designed to: help newly and future licensed teenage drivers understand the responsibilities associated with driving a motor vehicle; show how a poor choice behind the wheel can change the lives of everyone involved; reduce the number of teen-related injuries and deaths due to motor vehicle collisions. December 08, 2010 6:00pm to 8:00pm, Fillmore City Fire Station, 711 Sespe Place, Spanish speaker available.
