Keep California Roads Safe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Responsible drivers evaluate and assess their driving skills and abilities on an ongoing basis. If you are concerned about your driving, ask a trusted friend with a valid driver\u2019s license to sit in the passenger seat and observe you. Listen carefully and apply what you learn to your driving. Consider professional driving lessons or driving classes to sharpen your skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern Case Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Driver Safety is going digital with an efficient, simplified online case management system. The online system will be beneficial to all Californians, allowing faster response times to driver safety issues, challenges and actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
