“The leading cause of death for Americans 15-20 years old is motor vehicle collisions,” the announcement continues. “The goal of the class is to help young drivers and their parents understand the responsibilities associated with driving a motor vehicle. The class will also reveal how poor choices behind the wheel can change the lives of everyone involved. The purpose of this program is to reduce the number of teen-related injuries and deaths due to collisions.“

The class is free to attend, but space is limited to the first 30 students who sign up. To register, call the Marin CHP office by April 14 at (415) 924-1100.
