Got Teen Drivers? Enroll Them Now in Napa CHP Class!
For the Napa area, this free class is April 17.
The California Highway Patrol is committed to reducing the amount of teen injury and fatal collisions that occur throughout California.
In partnership with the California Office of Traffic Safety, the CHP has created the “Start Smart” Program, a teen driver safety class that empowers young persons and their parents to make the right decisions behind the wheel.
The area's nearest class is April 17 at 6 p.m. at the Napa CHP office on Golden Gate Drive. (See complete class and location list below.)“Start Smart” teaches teens and their parents about safe driving habits, and informs them of the responsibilities and dangers associated with operating a motor vehicle. The goal of the class is to ensure that teens are safe, responsible drivers who are less likely to be involved in an injury or fatal collision in their future.
