The California Highway Patrol and the Castro Valley Library will present “Start Smart: Teen Driver Program” on Tuesday, August 23, from 6 to 8 pm.

CHP officers will discuss traffic collision avoidance techniques, collision causing factors, driver/parent responsibilities, and seatbelt usage. Additionally, testimonies will be provided by officers who have investigated fatal collisions involving teens, and by family members who have lost love ones in traffic collisions.

The Start Smart program is a driver safety education class which targets new and future licensed teenage drivers between the age of 15 to 19 and their parents/guardians. A parent/guardian is required to attend the class with their teen.

This program will be held in person at the Castro Valley library in the Chabot/Canyon room. Registration is required for this free program. To register, please call the Library Information Desk at 510-667-7900 or register online at www.aclibrary.org
