CHP officers like Officer Kellogg discuss traffic collision avoidance techniques, collision causing factors, driver/parent responsibilities, and seatbelt usage during Driver Education.  Additionally, testimonies are provided by officers who have investigated fatal collisions involving teens, and by family members who have lost love ones in traffic collisions.
