On 10-18-09, at approximately 1830 hrs, Deputy Biter conducted our first Start Smart Program in the City of Fillmore. This program was held at the Fillmore City Fire Station Briefing room. There was a total of 15 people that attended the program; comprised of parents, teenagers, CHP Officer Terry Urich, Deputy Peterson and Deputy Vazquez.
The class centered on the different laws and aspects for new drivers or those teenagers looking to get their licenses. It gave the people an image of the consequences of their actions while driving. It gave a forum for those attending to pose questions, learn laws pertaining to new drivers and different techniques for driving. The class posed many situations and scenarios for new or perspective drivers, as well as their parents to reflect on and consider.
This class will be held in the future to avail others the opportunity to attend this educational experience.
