Start Smart is aimed at helping newly licensed and future licensed teenage drivers become aware of the responsibilities of being a licensed California driver.

The next class is May 6 at 6pm in the South Tahoe High School student union. Students and parents are invited.

All classes are free and last approximately two hours. To reserve a space, contact the California Highway Patrol at 530.577.1001.

The program was created to reduce the the number of teen injuries and deaths resulting from motor vehicle collisions.
