The goals of the Start Smart class are: to help young drivers and their parents/guardians understand the responsibilities associated with driving a motor vehicle, to show how a poor choice behind the wheel can change the lives of everyone involved and to reduce the number of teen-related injuries and deaths due to collisions.
