The Thousand Oaks Police Department is hosting a free safety program for newly licensed and future teen drivers — and their parents! Led in partnership with the California Highway Patrol, the Start Smart program helps young drivers understand the serious responsibilities that come with being behind the wheel. 💡 🔺 Did you know? 43% of first-year drivers are involved in crashes. Teen drivers (ages 16–19) are 3x more likely to be in a fatal crash compared to older drivers. Let’s work together to reduce teen traffic collisions and save lives. 🎟️ Space is limited! Call the TOPD Traffic Bureau at 📞 (805) 494-8200 to reserve your spot. vcsheriff chp_ventura #StartSmart #TeenDriverSafety #ThousandOaks #TOPD #CHP #DriveSafe #TeenDrivers #RoadSafety #ParentingTeens
